Time Traveler History Talks: Ladies' Aid Society of Northern Ohio

Time Traveler: Shores & Islands History Talk 📍 Shores & Islands Welcome Center - East 📅 Tuesday, August 25 | ⏰ 5:30-6:30 PM 📍 125 E. Water St., Sandusky, OH Continue our America 250 celebrations with local historian and Shores & Islands Ohio team member, Angie George as we learn about the Ladies' Aid Society of Northern Ohio and women's roles on the homefront during the American Civil War. In 1864, the Ladies' Aid Society of Northern Ohio (headquartered out of Cleveland) organized the Cleveland Sanitary Fair to support Union soldiers during the Civil War. With the Army providing only the bare minimum, these women became a lifeline, using creativity, determination, and community spirit to ensure soldiers had the food, clothing, and essentials they needed - and rallied the community in the process. ☕ Light refreshments will be served. 📅 Mark your calendar and join us for an evening of local history and discovery!
