Ep. 65 — Rick Mahan on the New Richmond Military Museum, Local Veterans, and Clermont County Primary Results
We start this week with Clermont County’s unofficial May 5 primary election results, including outcomes for local school, park, senior services, children’s services, developmental disabilities, fire and EMS, safety services, cemetery, and liquor option issues. We also look at several candidate races, including Clermont County Commissioner, County Auditor, Ohio’s 2nd Congressional District, Ohio House Districts 62 and 63, and the 12th District Court of Appeals.
Interview — Rick Mahan, New Richmond Military Museum
Rick Mahan joins us to talk about the New Richmond Military Museum, his work as curator, and the local veterans whose stories are preserved there. Rick shares how the museum grew out of a promise to Ralph Shepherd, a longtime New Richmond veteran advocate, and how the museum now houses artifacts, uniforms, photos, medals, and personal items connected mostly to local service members.
We also talk about some of the stories behind the museum’s collection, including Clermont County’s deep military history, General Ulysses S. Grant, General Henry Clark Corbin, a 48-star flag tied to Judge Houserman and the Philippines, a Korean War soldier whose remains were identified decades later, POW/MIA remembrance, New Richmond connections to Iwo Jima, uniforms from two local Marines killed in the Beirut bombing, and even a Space Force uniform from a New Richmond graduate.
Rick also discusses his work with the VFW, American Legion, local veterans groups, youth programs, community service, fish fries, and the importance of keeping local military history alive for future generations.
