Happy Veterans Day!
Today, leaders of our community dedicated an Ohio Historical Marker to commemorate Colonel Herman C. Doellinger Ohio National Guard Armory.
The armory was the first of its kind in Ohio, and construction was completed in 1911. It was home to Company E of the 4th Ohio Infantry Regiment and was later redesignated as part of the 166th Infantry Regiment. The company served in both World Wars.
Colonel Herman C. Doellinger served the 4th Regiment and the 37th Infantry Division from 1907 to 1943. On Memorial Day 1971, the armory was rededicated and named in his honor.
