Community Conversations
Our third installment of Community Conversations will be held at the Lorain Historical Society on 329 W. 10th St. Lorain, OH 44052. Our group of panelists will start promptly at 9:00am. Doors open at 8:30am and a continental breakfast will be provided for guests.
​
Our panelists include Frances Jo Hamilton from Heritage Ohio, Rebecca Kuzma from Strengthening Stark, and Hannah Kiraly-Frilling from the City of Lorain. Panel moderator is George Williams from Fund for Our Economic Future.
Our panelists bring years of experience in economic development and community revitalization to the conversation. Each brings a unique perspective, sharing the belief that revitalization is not a “cookie cutter” process, but rather an organic one that draws on the assets of the community and its capacity for growth and development.​
Brand NEW Exhibit
Visit us to see our brand new exhibit space!
​
This portion of our exhibits, often referred to as “the heart of Lorain”, depicts the greatest asset of Lorain—its people. The story of individuals and families coming to Lorain for jobs and seeking a better life for themselves and their families resonates with everyone.
​
This “community of communities”, many nationalities and cultures, settled in Lorain, Ohio with a common goal. They built their churches, their schools, created neighborhoods and developed a strong “sense of place” that is uniquely Lorain.
​
Thanks to the generosity of Lorain’s city council members, there will be OPEN admission to the museum every Tues/Thurs/Sat 10-3pm from October 12 - December 21. Free will offerings are gratefully accepted.
