Since the founding of the organization, the Lorain County Historical Society has offered educational programming. LCHS provides well-researched presentations for groups of all ages, tours of our museums and of local sites, “traveling suitcase” programs in local schools that meet Ohio’s learning standards, and engaging events.
The fee for each presentation is $75. Programs given outside of Lorain County must also include mileage.
