More than 30 community partners to host over 70 history events
During the 8th annual Cleveland History Days, Clevelanders can explore rarely seen parts of the city—including the hidden streetcar level of the Veterans Memorial Bridge—during the 11-day event series, returning June 19–29 with more than 70 opportunities to discover the city’s past.
Cleveland History Days showcases Cleveland's cultural institutions, historical societies, museums, and preservation organizations, which are all working to preserve and promote the city's unique heritage. Last year, more than 11,000 people from 65 different zip codes in 5 states participated in Cleveland History Days.
This 11-day series, produced in collaboration with over 30 community partners throughout Cleveland—including the Cleveland History Center, Cuyahoga County, Lake View Cemetery, Baseball Heritage Museum at League Park, Cleveland Metroparks, National Park Service, and more—offers a diverse array of activities. Attendees can enjoy guided walking tours, lectures, panel discussions, open houses, and special events that delve into Cleveland’s industrial heritage, diverse communities, and significant contributions to the nation’s history.
