COMING EVENTS
The Richfield Historical Society’s TakeMeBack Series presentations have returned!
John Burke will present “Revolutionary War: General McIntosh and Fort Laurens” on Sunday, August 29, at 2:00 p.m., location to be announced. Fort Laurens (near Canton) was the only American fort built in Ohio during the Revolutionary War. Find out about the building of this frontier outpost and its siege in 1768, where Colonel John Gibson defended the fort against British Captain Henry Bird and his Indian allies under prominent Lenape (Delaware) leader Konieschquanoheel--- also known by the English name "Captain Pipe"---and renegade Simon Girty. The discussion will include details of the war on the Ohio frontier.
On Sunday, September 26, at 2:00 p.m. Rebecca McFarland and Tom Pappas will present a fascinating history of "Cleveland's Union Terminal" which was built by the Van Sweringen brothers during the Great Depression. Attendees will hear about the interesting aspects of the tower, including the 576 levers in the railroad control tower. Program location to be announced at a later date.
On Sunday, October 24, 2:00 p.m., location to be announced, Richfield resident and amateur WWII historian Dr. Gary Domanick will present "The D-Day Invasion at Normandy Beach - Operation Overlord to the Battle of the Bulge."
