About WRHS
The Western Reserve Historical Society is a
not-for-profit educational institution that preserves and uses its collections,
historic sites, and museums to inspire people to explore the history and
culture of Northeastern Ohio and place that regional experience within the
larger context of state, national, and global history.
Collections and exhibitions focus on the Western Reserve.
Both permanent, and especially changing, exhibitions place the region in its
larger historical context. The Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum collections
illustrate the history of the automotive industry in the Western Reserve as
well as nationally and internationally.
Student Visitors
Over 60,000 students from pre-Kindergarten through high
school visit WRHS properties throughout the school year, with hundreds more
learning from WRHS programs through outreach and classroom visits. These
workshops and courses are directly tied into the history of NE Ohio, based on
the collections and documents that belong to the Western Reserve Historical
Society.
All WRHS programs are inquiry-based, hands-on, and correlate to the current
Ohio Academic Content Standards in Social Studies, Science, Math and Language
Arts. Standards and grade-level indicator match-ups are available by contacting
Jennifer Minor at (216) 721-5722, ext. 251.
