Port Of Toledo: Then & Now – Part 2

Part 2 of Port of Toledo: Then and Now is a physical exhibit located in the History Walk Gallery at ProMedica headquarters. This gallery sits in downtown Toledo overlooking the “Mighty Maumee River”. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, this exhibit is not as accessible as originally hoped. We virtually introduced audiences to it through our H2Oh! live-streamed fundraiser taking place on September 26th. To help better share the exhibit, we’ve created a few short video segments including guests Tom Walton, Kay Anderson, Tedd Long, Bob Lucas, and Ted Ligibel. Special thanks goes out to Allied Media and Matt Russell, LLC for the segments’ video production.

Port Of Toledo: Then & Now – Part 1

Part 1 of Port of Toledo: Then and Now launched in March of 2020 in 6 virtual installments as an interactive online exhibit exploring images and stories highlighting the history of the museum’s hometown port of Toledo, Ohio. Focused on the Port of Toledo from “Then”, this exhibit was merely the beginning of an extended three-part experience.
