Ohio Open Doors program highlights state's history, legislation's legacy
The Ohio History Connection is inviting the public to tour hundreds of historical sites starting Friday and running through Sept. 15 during its fifth biennial Ohio Open Doors initiative. More than 200 historic locations will participate to celebrate National Historic Preservation Act, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1966. Ohio’s first Open Doors was in 2016 on the 50th anniversary of the act, and every two years the public gets to glean a little of the legacy of the legislation. “This program is all about sharing stories from history,” said Neil Thompson, the manager of media and public relations for the Ohio History Connection. “And it’s imperative that we preserve these places and we learn from them, because they are part of the fabric that that makes Ohio what it is today.” One option for piqued curiosities will be a step back in time to early 20th century Lyons, Ohio, through the Lyons & Area Historical Society.
