Even a minor injury to the cornea—like that from a small particle of dust or debris—can be painful and become a life-long issue, so take the extra precaution and always protect the eyes. If the eye is injured, seek emergency medical help immediately. DANGERS AT HOME When we think of eye protection, we tend to think of people wearing hardhats and lab coats.

  • Dead Last: the Public Memory of Warren G. Harding's Scandalous
    Payne.1-19 11/13/08 3:02 PM Page 1 Questions Asked Democracy has no monuments. It strikes no medals. It bears the head of no man on a coin. —John Quincy Adams To enter into any serious historical criticism of these stories [regarding George Washington’s childhood] would be to break a butterfly. 1 —Henry Cabot Lodge Harding and the Log Cabin Myth Warren G. Harding’s story is an American myth gone wrong. As our twenty-ninth president, Harding occupied the office that stands at the symbolic center of American national identity.1 Harding’s biography should have easily slipped into American history and mythology when he died in office, on August 2, 1923. Having been born to a humble midwestern farm family, what better ending could there be to his story than death in the service of his nation? What stronger image could stand as a lasting tribute than grieving citizens lining the railroad tracks, as they had for Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley, to view Har- ding’s body? The public grief that accompanied the passing of Harding’s burial train would seem to have foreshadowed a positive place in the national memory. Warren and Florence Harding were laid to rest in a classically designed marble mau- soleum in their hometown of Marion, Ohio, a mausoleum that was the last great memorial in the older style popular before the rise of presidential libraries. However, the near perfection Payne.1-19 11/13/08 3:02 PM Page 2 Dead Last of his political biography and his contemporary popularity did not follow him into history.

Bouquets of Thanks for Your Year-End Support! Thanks to the generosity of many members and friends, the year 2018 ended with a flourish for the Oberlin Heritage Center. In November, OHC received notification that Nordson Corporation would continue its support of youth education with a grant of $4,565 to fund school- age outreach and on-site history programming in the New Year. The Community Foundation of Lorain County's Jane and Eric Nord Fund approved a grant of $25,000 in support of programming, strategic initiatives to collect and share the histories of community members, and operating costs. And by the end of the year, the Heritage Center set a new record for its Annual Fund campaign, raising $52,362 with the support of more than 300 donors. (This boon was especially critical in coming to the aid of some unexpected end-of-year furnace break-downs at the Heritage Center!) The Annual Fund campaign received the support of 44% of the organization's membership, with 100% of the OHC Board and Staff contributing. What do OHC's Annual Fund donors make possible? Children hearing inspirational stories about individuals who challenged stereotypes. New residents discovering the history of their houses. College students creating a home-away-from-home through service and learning. Families enjoying a fun day together. Researchers finding new leads. Volunteers continually learning and connecting.

  • Columbus Landmarks Foundation “The Spirit of Neighborhoods: Culture Walks” Quarterly Grant Application Narrative
    Columbus Landmarks Foundation “The Spirit of Neighborhoods: Culture Walks” Quarterly Grant Application Narrative 1.What do you plan to do? Columbus Landmarks Foundation (CLF) in collaboration with Columbus Public Health (CPH) will create a pilot program, “The Spirit of Neighborhoods: Culture Walks,” to supplement their existing Art Walks & Landmark Talks walking program. The Culture Walks will document, interpret, and convey the heritage and culture of four smaller neighborhoods within the larger neighborhoods of Near East, Near South, Merion Village, and Highland West. The Culture Walks will be based on stories and history from local residents. Humanities scholars will help to create a broad framework of nationally significant themes (i.e. Industrialization, immigration, urbanization, migration, etc.), providing context to understand local history and residents’ individual experiences. Both CLF staff and local residents will host the Culture Walks, the culminating activity, for a larger general audience in early fall 2017. Each tour will be 90- minutes in length, as opposed to the regular 60-minute weekday Arts Walk tours and will be held on a weekend afternoon in autumn 2017 at the convenience of the neighborhood. Each of the four neighborhoods represents a diverse and varied history in the development of the city and because of its geographic location. All are affected by opportunities and displacements, crossroads and boundaries—the National Road, Route 23, railroads, land grants, annexations, redlining or restrictive covenants. Nineteenth and early twentieth century settlement patterns continue to affect neighborhood thinking even after collective memory fails. Immigration, urbanization, industrialization, migration often deals with difficult or painful history, especially in neighborhoods that have been marginalized by segregation and discrimination.
