Author Talks About the Environmental Aspects of Draining the Great Black Swamp
Sun 11/15 @ 1-2PM There’s something fascinating about the idea of the Great Black Swamp, which once covered millions of acres Northwest Ohio, Northeast Indiana and Southeast Michigan. The ice age-created ecosystem, which featured a mix of wetlands, forests and meadows, existed for 20,000 years until it was dredged and drained in the 19th century to create the farmland that underpinned the wealth of Ohio.

Couple to tie the knot Friday the 13th at Toledo funeral museum
For a Grand Rapids, Mich., couple, it all started at their local haunted house.

The Chrome And Neon At The Spot Restaurant In Sidney, Ohio, Haven’t Changed Since 1941
Some towns keep their history in museums. Sidney, Ohio, keeps a big piece of it on a downtown corner, glowing under a mid-century neon sign.
