"Campaigns of Yesterday"
at Bedford Historical Societyyesterday

Bricker & Eckler LLP has partnered with the Bedford Historical Society for a new exhibit that features campaign memorabilia of presidential campaigns with ties to Ohio.


Campaigns of Yesterday showcases artifacts of twentieth century presidential campaigns from local collectors. Bricker & Eckler, an Ohio-based law firm, provided artifacts to the historical society related to John W. Bricker's 1944 vice presidential campaign.  Bricker served as a U.S. Senator and Governor of Ohio in addition to his bid for the White House on the bottom of the Thomas E. Dewey ticket.
The exhibit is open through November and will be highlighted during the Republican National Convention on July 18-21 in Cleveland.
