Home to History: The Story of the Starr House

Saturday, September 12, 1:00 – 3:00 PM

Lorain County History Center, 284 Washington Avenue, Elyria

In 1857, the Starr family became the first of many to live in the Italianate-style house built on Washington Avenue in Elyria that is now the home of the Lorain County Historical Society. Join us on September 12 for an open house at the Lorain County History Center to explore the history of the building and the people who lived there in the past. This event is free and open to the public. The History Center has an elevator for access to all public floors. This event is part of the statewide Ohio Open Doors initiative, to encourage everyone to discover Ohio’s amazing heritage by providing access to historic buildings and landmarks across the state through special tours and events.

Due to the historic architecture of the building, there is no elevator in The Hickories and stairs are required. Strollers, large bags, food, and beverages are not permitted inside the museum during events.
