April Museum Sponsor

In 2026, we made a promise that our exhibit space inside the Carnegie Center Museum would remain free and open to our community. Because history belongs to everyone.​

This month, we're honored that the Hageman Chippi Masters Group at Morgan Stanley will be sponsoring free admission into our museum.

We'd like to thank Kent Hageman, a longtime supporter of our organization, for his continued support of our mission and for bringing our vision to life!

The Hageman Chippi Masters Group at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is committed to building lasting relationships grounded in trust, expertise, and personalized financial guidance. Their dedication to helping individuals, families, and businesses plan for the future reflects a strong investment not just in financial success, but in the long-term strength and vitality of the communities they serve.

We encourage turning to Kent and his team, as they are experts in their field and huge supporters of our community.

- Museum & Gift Shop OPEN Tue/Thu/Sat 10am–3pm

- Carnegie Center - 329 W. 10th St., Lorain, OH 44052

Thank you to Kent Hageman and his team for their support! When we support one another, our whole community thrives. We're always #LorainProud!

Lorain Community Stories

We are pleased to announce that we have received an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant in conjunction with OurStoryBridge Inc. to implement a new program titled Lorain Community Stories.

 

Lorain Community Stories is a two-year collaborative project that celebrates the city’s diverse heritage by capturing the voices and memories of its residents. During this two-year project, we will collect audio stories and related photographs and share them in an online platform. This effort ensures Lorain’s social and cultural history is preserved, honored, and shared for future generations.

 

To learn more or participate, email Jen Neuhaus at loraincommunitystories@lorainhistory.org

Our Mission

"We engage members of the community and our visitors in our shared and diverse history through preservation, education, collaborations, and exciting programming for all ages, so that we learn from the past, develop civic pride, and transform the future."
