Join us TONIGHT April 21st at 6PM for our next Ame Join us TONIGHT April 21st at 6PM for our next America250 Lecture Series talk. April's talk will focus on the America 250-Ohio theme of "Transportation".

Often thought of as simply a road to travel through, U.S. Route 6, known statewide and nationally as the Grand Army of the Republic Highway, is a historic corridor that stretches across northern Ohio, from the Indiana border near Edgerton eastward through Williams, Henry, Wood, Sandusky, Erie, Lorain, Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, and Ashtabula counties to the Pennsylvania line. This presentation invites local history lovers to slow down, stop, and connect by exploring the people and places shaped by this roadway, uncovering surprising historical threads, and rediscovering how Route 6 helped knit Ohio’s communities into the broader tapestry of the American experience. Along the way, national highlights of the route help place Ohio’s story within this larger, coast-to-coast journey.

Cost: FREE for members; $7 for non-members (tickets include a self-guided tour of the museum in addition to the program)
🎟: https://woodcountyhistory.org/.../america250-lecture.../
***Each person attending must be a member to get the member rate. Members may not make reservations for non-members on their behalf***

About the Speaker: Gary Hunter is the Executive Director of the Ohio U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association. He regularly travels the state of Ohio to speak to groups about Historic U.S. 6 that runs coast to coast – through 14 states, for 3,652 miles.
