History

Explore the Legends of The Land

In Cleveland, history is exploration

Ever heard the story about how we lost the “a” in the original spelling of “Cleaveland?” Or, how about the tales of Parma resident Ettore Boiardi — you know him as Chef Boyardee (yes, that one) — selling spaghetti sauce out of milk bottles? 

Who says history has to be boring?

Whether you’re scoping a time-traveling DeLorean at the Cleveland History Center or uncovering The Land’s crucial role in the Underground Railroad at the Cozad-Bates House, when you’re in a world-class city, expect a rich and textured history. 

Important museums. Stunning architecture. Renowned monuments. Iconic public art and even historical cemeteries. Cleveland is living proof that history is exploration.
