The Cleveland History Center: A Journey Through Time

Gremi, the adventurous host of CleveItToUs, recently visited the Cleveland History Center and explored the magnificent corridors of the Hay-McKinney Mansion, the Art and Political exhibits, the Clothing and Apparel exhibit, the immersive Crawford Auto and Aviation wing, and the Library.
At the museum, Gremi met with department heads and curators from five different departments, including the Director of the Cleveland History Center, Angie Lowrie.
During his visit, Gremi was transported back in time as he explored the lifestyles of the aristocrats in the Hay-McKinney Mansion, which reminded him of the hit BBC period drama, Downton Abbey. He also delved into Cleveland's rich history of aviation and the Wright Brothers, who built the first ever plane right here in Cleveland, plus the amazing women in politics who helped shape the city and country.
One of the highlights of Gremi's visit was the "Dress for the Job, Clevelanders in Uniform" exhibit in the Gallery, where he got up close and personal with uniforms and occasion-based clothing related to different purposes, times, and eras. He also got a chance to experience the Crawford Auto and Aviation wing, where he honked the horn of a 115-year-old car and sat inside one of only two stainless steel Ford Thunderbirds in the world.
The Cleveland History Center's Library boasts a massive collection of Cleveland historical documents and an impressive genealogical department that encourages people to come in and learn about their family history through actual historical records and research. Gremi met with Ann Sindelar who will be working with him on another segment in the near future, exploring Gremi's own family roots.
