Folks in Bucyrus are readying the historic T&OC Depot to host the bi-annual Hobo Day on Saturday, September 2.

Twice each year, the Bucyrus Station and Association and Bucyrus Preservation Society welcome hobos from across the country, as this recent story on the event in the Bucyrus Telegraph-Forum points out. Over 2,000 other visitors will enjoy a peddlers’ market, food, crafts and entertainment – the highlight of which is Bucyrus’ Hobo Band, undoubtedly the only hobo band in Ohio.

Proceeds from the event benefit the 1892 Toledo & Ohio Central Depot restoration and expansion project. Click here to visit the BPS website, which includes complete information on the preservation project.

Bucyrus is located on US30 in Crawford County, approximately 65 miles north of Columbus. Come on out for this one-of-a-kind event.
