Post 91 was started by a group of 20 Berea Veterans and was granted a charter on September 5th, 1919. The founding fathers named the Post after Lt. Albert E. Baesel, a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient who was killed in action during World War I. It seemed fitting that the name would honor a Berea Veteran. The first Post 91 was located on Front Street where the Public Library now stands today. The property was traded to the City of Berea for our current location on Coe Lake.

Over the years our Post has gone through many changes. Our current home was built in 1955 and renovated several times over the past 30 years. During the 90s the City of Berea officially renamed our Adams Street address to American Legion Parkway. On Memorial Day 2005, the drive way in front of our Post, was renamed Albert E. Baesel Drive by the City of Berea.

Post 91 continues to be a leader in the community providing volunteer services for Berea and outlining cities.
