Versailles POLICY, Darke Co., OHThe front page had a big article about the Worch Memorial Library in Versailles. Something they mention that may be of interest is that the VERSAILLES POLICY newspapers from 1890-present are available on microfilm there. (Be still my heart...106 years of Versailles newspaper articles...wonder if any of that is indexed?)
