  • Historical Society Notes Historical Society Tour, 1963 C W
    HISTORICAL SOCIETY NOTES HISTORICAL SOCIETY TOUR, 1963 C W. W. Elkin The Twentieth Tour of the Historical Society was conducted on July 20, 1963, and comprised a combined bus trip to East Liverpool via U.S. Route 30, through Imperial, Clinton and Chester, and a boat trip on the Chaperon down the Ohio River as far as Steubenville. At East Liverpool an opportunity was given to visit the local museum in the Carnegie Library building, where there is an unusually fine display of ceramics, Indian relics, antiques and a collection of portrait paintings, some of them by David Blythe. On the Chaperon a buffet lunch and a generous dinner were served. Music was furnished by a small orchestra. East Liverpool is a well-known pottery center 43 miles from Pittsburgh on the Ohio River at a point where the river flows east to west, an unusual thing in U.S. rivers. Originally called St. Clair and Fawcettstown, in 1798 it was named for the English town of Liverpool. In 1830 the name was changed to East Liverpool to dis- tinguish it from a town in Medina County, Ohio. Among the various towns passed on the trip down the river was Wellsville, Ohio, founded in 1797, the terminus of the first railroad connecting the Ohio River with the Great Lakes. At an early date there were daily steamer connections with Pittsburgh. Other towns passed on the trip were :New Cumberland, Toronto, Weirton, as well as the Islands Baker, Brown and Black. At Yellow Creek occurred the Massacre at which the noted Indian Logan lost his family, for which his famous (reputed) speech was made.
