It Happened In Ohio: The Kent State Shootings

by

Tomorrow, the Ohio Historical Center will open the new exhibit, It Happened in Ohio: The Kent State Shootings.

OHS.jpgTo tie into the Ohio Historical Center’s featured exhibit, Capture the Moment: The Pulitzer Prize Photographs, the 1971 Pulitzer Prize winner Kent State Massacre by photographer John Paul Filo and the upcoming anniversary of the event, the Ohio Historical Center will feature It Happened in Ohio: The Kent State Shootings. Visitors will learn about the build up and reaction to the Kent State shootings on May 4, 1970, through artifacts, photos and personal accounts.

I plan to take my teenager and his friend to see this. They learned about this event in school, but I find a good museum exhibit brings me and my family much closer to history than classroom insturction.

The exhibit runs April 25 through July 25.

Thursday 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Friday-Saturday 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday noon.-5 p.m.
Adults $8. Children 6-12 $4. Parking $4.
1982 Velma Ave.
