Hi All, Duane Bargar here, yes, of the Bargar Jewelry family. The postcards and assorted images presented on this site are all from my personal collection, which is neither for sale nor a commercial pursuit. Most of the cards and images here are from the late 19th and early 20th century and a few as late as the 1960s and 70s.

  I created this page as a small token of appreciation for the history of the town that shaped me. Born in 1975 (at Riverside in Columbus, but consider myself a Delaware native) I lived my young life in Delaware, Ashley, and mostly in the Historic District of Stratford, before moving away a couple times and now I reside in New Mexico. 

  I gladly welcome any additional information, comments, corrections, or the like for the site. Please feel free to contact me with any of the above at 

dwbargar@hotmail.com  

  Also I'll be adding additional postcards and other information as I have time to scan it all into the computer. 

  Thanks for checking out
the site. 

Happy 200th Delaware, Ohio!
