Camp Perry Receives Federal Funds

From the September 21, 2021, Sandusky (Ohio) Register by Andy  Ouriel.

Camp Perry, located near Port Clinton, Ohio was the primary training center for the Ohio National Guard for much of the 1900s.  It was established in 1907 and named for Oliver Hazard Perry, a naval War of 1812 hero.

Ohio State's Controlling Board recently  approved $271,000 in federal funding request for Camp Perry and its historical lighting project.

I will be writing more about Camp Perry in my Cooter's History Thing Blog.

Oliver Hazard Perry is the Perry in my signoff.
