REMEMBRANCE DAY/XTINGUISH
CELEBRATION/TORCH FEST


June 21, 2019 Noon to 4:00PM

Celebrating the Cuyahoga River. Plans continue for Remembrance Day 2019. We are excited to be celebrating the Cuyahoga River this year and the early citizens of the Valley who used the river for their livelihood. Historic individuals like Thomas Moody, Hermon Bronson, Lawrence Waterman, Charles Bouton, Thomas Wood and Alonzo Dee and others will be honored. Storyboards with photos and history will be interpreted by individuals in Civil War Era Outfits at both Peninsula and Boston. We hope to have music celebrating the Cuyahoga and other rivers. Mark your calendar for June 21, 2019 Noon to 4:00 PM.

This weekend marks the 50th Anniversary of the Burning of the Cuyahoga River which had a tremendous impact on the enactment of environmental legislation here and throughout the US. Please let us know if you would like to volunteer to share history. Contact Barbara Gedeon 330 858 9720.
