Program Description

Event Details

Join us on Thursday, April 25 at 6:30pm for a program with special guest Kaitlyn Donaldson, curator of the Lorain Historical Society. This June will mark the 100th anniversary of the 1924 Lorain Tornado and this program commemorates the disaster, still considered the deadliest single tornado in Ohio history.

Using photographs and personal accounts, Kaitlyn will cover the path of destruction left by the tornado as well as reveal how people and organizations helped in the recovery and rebuilding afterwards. It is a powerful story of survival and revitalization that is still relevant today!
