“Butler County’s First Bank Bandits”

Join local educator and storyteller Dave Burk as he details the legends and lore of some of Butler County’s most notorious bank robbers and their heists.  Burk has spent ten years researching every bank robbery in Southwest Ohio since the first one in 1876. Hear of the exploits of the likes of Herb Hebenstreit, Ritzmer Goins, “Gentleman” Gerald Chapman and Bob “The Fox of Gangland” Zwick, one of the most feared local bootleggers of his time.
