Finding the right childcare
in Deshler & Holgate & Liberty Center, Ohio

These small Henry County railroad towns are woven into Ohio's 19th-century transportation history. Deshler, nicknamed "The Corn City," became known as "The Crossroads of the B&O" where major rail lines intersected, attracting presidential whistle-stop campaigns from Coolidge through Reagan. Holgate and Liberty Center both developed as stations on the Wabash Railroad in the 1860s-1870s, with Liberty Center thriving as a prosperous village with a strong post office and printing press by 1888, while Holgate's railroad expansion contributed to a population surge of over 90% by 1890.
