Because we do not have a central office, our Project
Chairpersons are generally volunteers who work on their projects in
their homes. They dedicate uncounted hours to bring their projects to
fruition for the benefit of the Society and to share resources with
those interested in Crawford County. If you are interested in
information from one of our projects, please write to our Post Office
Box Address: P.O. Box 1033, Bucyrus OH 44820 to the attention of the
chairperson of that project.
