#OTD in 1945, Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart were married at Malabar Farm in Lucas, Ohio. The farm was home to Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Louis Bromfield, a lifelong friend of Bogart’s. Today it's a state park and you can still visit the spot where the two were married.

Sloths, mastodons, gemstones... oh my! Today is International Museum Day and we're celebrating our oldest museum on campus. Orton Museum began its collection in 1874—four years after the university opened its doors—and housed in University Hall until 1893.
