Darke County • September 30, 2025
Good morning, Darke County. The clock is ticking for local voters with just days remaining until the October 6 registration deadline. This year's ballot puts community leadership front and center, with positions from city councils to school boards up for decision. The good news? Early voting begins October 7 with extended hours through November 2, offering plenty of flexibility for busy residents to make their voices heard before the November 4 General Election.
History buffs have two unique opportunities to connect with the past this month. The Overfield Tavern Museum's Family Archaeology Day on October 12 invites visitors to witness real-time excavations at an 1808 log tavern, where artifacts are being unearthed from beneath floorboards and the backyard. Meanwhile, vintage automobile enthusiasts recently gathered for the 22nd annual Car Show at Erwin Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, where classic "muscle cars" drew admiring crowds while raising funds for the Miami Valley Veterans Museum.
