Register online, in person, or by phone at 330.745.6126.

National parks preserve this great nation's natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and stories. Cuyahoga Valley National Park has many stories, including the story of transportation.

Simple, you may think, traveling from one place to another, but transportation changes everything about a place and its people. It changes the food we eat, the jobs we do, and the places we can visit.

Join a national park ranger and actors to explore the evolution of transportation through the telling of ghost stories. Gather around your computer screen and enjoy tales of sailors lost, heartbroken horses, and headless brakemen. 

This program is held on Zoom. Registration is required to receive a login. 

A webcam and microphone may be necessary for participation in this interactive event. If you have one or neither of these, your level of participation will be limited. If you do not have an email address, please contact the Kenmore Branch to learn how to participate in this program via phone.
