    Centennial Tours

    About | Cleveland Metroparks Organization | History | Centennial Celebration | Centennial Tours
    Cleveland Metroparks invite guests to continue the celebration of this centennial year with local, in-depth recounts of historic sites throughout the Park District. In collaboration with Cleveland State University (CSU) Center for Public History + Digital Humanities, Cleveland Metroparks introduces a series of historical stories providing the community with a greater understanding of the Emerald Necklace.

    Each featured story reveals a dynamic person, place, event or era that helped create a legacy for Greater Cleveland and Cleveland Metroparks. Two new stories will be published each month from May through December.
