Delaware s Historic Courthouse: Latest finds include 124-year-old penny, possible liquor stash
Also found was a seashell, apparently carried to Delaware from a beach along an ocean, Hawes said. Somebody just had it there to remind them of vacation time or something. That, I was told, was back behind a baseboard. And how it got back there I can t even hope to tell you. But that was another one of the goodies that they found, she said.
The historical material was framed for hanging by Benny Shoults of Frame Artistry, 176 W. Lincoln Ave., Hawes said. In talking with Benny, we decided, Let s create what they call shadow boxes to mount them properly, and we can display them. They ll kind of be like their own little history lesson for the building, she said.

The Tri-Township Fire Station, which has sat at 495 Sunbury Road since 1957, is going to move.
It won t travel far, though.
The Delaware County commissioners on Dec. 21 approved a quitclaim deed transfer of 2.2 acres to the Tri-Township Board of Fire District Trustees. The Brown Township site will be the county s Byxbe Campus, at the former Delaware Area Career Center at 1610 state Route 521.
The new station s site is just off Bowtown Road, less than a mile to the east of the current station.
Tri-Township Fire Station Chief Troy Morris said the move is motivated largely by the city of Delaware s plan to widen the Point intersection of East William Street and East Central Avenue to four lanes under a railroad bridge. The fire station sits adjacent to the Point.
