All Day
Save the Date: Are you a car person who also loves history?
From Friday, May 3 to Sunday, May 5, explore the rich history
of the Mid-Ohio Valley through the “Cruisin’ Through History” event.
“Cruisin’ Through History” is an upcoming automotive historical
tourism event where participants will receive sets of clues to find
historic sites in Jackson, Meigs, Mason and Wood counties. Points
will be scored when participants find a clue and send a photo of themselves
by the historic site to the event scoring committee. The event will begin
at the Riverfront Park in Ravenswood at 5 P.M. on May 3rd.
This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the history of our great
region while supporting cities and local businesses in the Mid-Ohio Valley.
