Cleveland is a city that remembers. We remember the hard times, but also remember to celebrate the good. We remember when our river caught fire and celebrate all that event did for water conservation efforts throughout the country. We remember the captains of industry that shaped this city and the workers who came here from all over the world to help fuel that growth. This is our history.
Cleveland History Days is a 10-day celebration of every event that made our city what it is today, as well as the new chapter we are writing in our comeback story. Walking tours, bike tours and events at sites of historical significance throughout the city will take visitors on a journey through this story as they marvel at the advancements we have made toward a new a prosperous future.
