Welcome!!!!

Welcome to our Class and to a new adventure in exploring history!
This class is always an adventure and is exciting because it not only looks at the history of Northwest Ohio, but also explores the larger scope of US History through the microcosm of Northwest Ohio; particularly Bowling Green and the Great Black Swamp.

During this class we will consider the effects of the Great Black Swamp, the War of 1812 and war in Ohio and the US in general, the discovery of oil and natural gas, and the development of glass. These four areas are not all of the wonderful aspects of history that can be explored through this small area of Ohio, but for our short tour of NWO, it is all we will consider. If you personally have an affection or a desire to consider some other aspect of US History, please share that with me.

We will blog, read an historical novel, discuss history and explore history through trips and present our information at the end of the session to one another. Best wishes and welcome to Exploring Northwest Ohio History!
