Celebrating 100 Years of Latino History in
Lorain, Ohio
Join us in “Celebrating 100 Years of Latino History in Lorain, Ohio” with this set of panels highlighting the history of Vine Avenue in South Lorain and how the area became home to many Hispanics and Latinos that moved to Ohio. Learn about Vine Avenue from people who remember growing up there and find inspiration in their stories for preserving the culture today.
How We Created This Exhibit
In 2021, Latino Lorain committee members came together and saw the need for a physical exhibit highlighting the history of the Latino community. Through collaboration, research, and collecting the stories of elders in the community, we have been able to illustrate the complex story of Vine Avenue.
