March 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 are incredibly grateful to share that Alicia Burke, fellow Board Member and neighbor, and her husband Earnest have made that possible through their generous sponsorship.

​

Right here in our neighborhood stands Chateau de Charleston, a beautifully restored historic home operating as a one-of-a-kind Airbnb and event venue. Alicia and Earnest have poured their hearts into preserving this space, blending thoughtful hospitality with a deep love for Lorain and its stories. Their commitment to honoring the past while creating space for new memories mirrors exactly what we strive to do every day.

​

If you’re looking for a stunning place to stay, planning a special event, or simply want to support a business that invests back into Lorain, we encourage you to check out Chateau de Charleston. Follow them on Facebook, reach out about hosting your next gathering, or book a stay and experience the charm for yourself.​

​

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

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."

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
