Brand NEW Exhibit
Visit us to see our brand new exhibit space!
​
This portion of our exhibits, often referred to as “the heart of Lorain”, depicts the greatest asset of Lorain—its people. The story of individuals and families coming to Lorain for jobs and seeking a better life for themselves and their families resonates with everyone.
​
This “community of communities”, many nationalities and cultures, settled in Lorain, Ohio with a common goal. They built their churches, their schools, created neighborhoods and developed a strong “sense of place” that is uniquely Lorain.
​
Thanks to the generosity of Lorain’s city council members, there will be OPEN admission to the museum every Tues/Thurs/Sat 10-3pm from October 12 - December 21. Free will offerings are gratefully accepted.
