Toledo History Museum – preserving and promoting the history of Toledo, Ohio through exhibitions, outreach & education

In collaboration with WGTE Public Media, the Toledo History Museum is hosting a radio program that delves into the history of Toledo and Northwest Ohio. We look at our culture and heritage. In the latest installment host London Mitchell sits down with Toledo Public Schools historian Robyn Hage to learn about some of the city’s most famous names, and with local author Doug Swiatecki to trace Toledo’s jazz roots. Ellen Kennedy then makes the case for why the National Museum of the Great Lakes calls Toledo home.
