I have noticed the word "Garst" in several emails recently. What is "Garst?"

Garst is the Darke County Historical Society museum, Greenville OH. They have genealogy library dealing mostly with Darke county and neighboring county.. You can check the museum out by google Garst Museum.

Thanks for the explanation of GARST. I lived in Greenville for about ten months in about 1939 when I was about ten years old, during the Centennial celebration, I guess for the Northwest Territory, but I'm not really sure. I remember the parades and we got to wear pioneer clothing to school--what elementary school, I don't remember but we lived on North Broadway, 610 if I remember correctly. Other than those tidbits, I was too young and am too old now... One other thing: I remember the wooden nickels...
