THEFT ALERT! Be on the lookout stolen artifacts!

The Uhrichsville Clay Museum, which is operated by the Dennison Railroad Depot Museum, has been robbed twice recently.  Theives have taken more than 50 plus sewer pipe folk art items such as dogs, tree trunk lamps, tree truck planters, frogs, lions, miniature shoe sets, marbles, and other artifacts.

 The stolen artfiacts are easily identifiable.  They look like hand made clay items with a very shiny dark glaze.  The missing items are examples of local folk art and irreplaceable and very valuable.
