Drexel To Hold Ceremony Unveiling Ohio History Connection Historical Marker, 11/7

Proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Drexel Theatre will add another prestigious historic designation to its resume when it reveals a newly installed Ohio Historical Marker from the Ohio History Connection at a brief ceremony on Tuesday, November 7, at 6pm. The marker recognizes the historical and architectural significance of the Drexel Theatre as an example of an early 20th-century, Art Deco-style, neighborhood movie theatre.

The Ohio Historical Markers program began in the 1950s and encompasses more than 1,600 unique markers that tell the state's history as written by its communities. Markers are erected in partnership with the Ohio History Connection (formerly the Ohio Historical Society) and describe the people, places, things, and events of Ohio's past.

The ceremony will be followed by a free screening of Double Indemnity as part of the America's Greatest Films free film series, a year-long thank you gift to the community for its support of the Drexel through its recent renovation and beyond.
