Library
offers East Cleveland Historical Walking Tour this Saturday
In the late 1800s, East Cleveland took root as a small
trading post alongside a wagon trail that led from Buffalo, New York, to
Cleveland, Ohio. This wagon trail, then known as the Lakeshore Trail forged by
American Indians long gone, later became Euclid Avenue. It was the showplace of
America during its tenure as Millionaires Row.
The East Cleveland Public Library, in collaboration with
Leah Santosusso, is presenting a Historical Walking Tour in support of her new
book, East Cleveland: Images of America.
This FREE event will include a light lunch and brief
historical discussion before the outdoor walking tour begins. The discussion
and walking tour will feature several memorable locations highlighted in the
book.
Meet at the library at noon this Saturday, Nov. 2 for the
tour. Call 216.541.4128 for more information.
