Probably Olga's favorite project while she was executive director of the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor was the famed Coffee Pot. She said there was little interest in Bedford to save the vintage 1927 from demolition.
She and the organization worked hard to raise the money to relocate the Coffee Pot a quarter mile away from its original site and then to restore it.
Thanks to her efforts, the Coffee Pot is today listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The organization sold the structure to the Bedford County Fairgrounds in 2004 for the princely sum of $1.
