The Southeast Ohio History Center based in Athens, Ohio, is coordinating a series of meetings with local museums and other organizations to create a cohesive network in the region.
The recent meeting at the Ross County Heritage Center (the home of the Ross County Historical Society) on March 12th was assisted by Logan Lambert, a “Local Historian” in AmeriCorps and thus a part of its state version, the Ohio History Service Corps. The Wellston and Jackson native and OU graduate says he is helping to establish cohesive resources and contacts among the organizations to keep history alive.
The Southeast Ohio History Center, formerly the Athens County Historical Society, is no longer just Athens-focused, but more regional and statewide. You can learn more by contacting their director, Tom O’Grady, who is also also known for his work with Friends of Ohio Barns and Ohio’s Hill Country.
Hear Lambert in his own words in the video interview in the article on the Scioto Post.
