Fall is usually full of opportunities for Ohioans to come together to learn more about preservation and revitalization - and also just to have an enjoyable time.  2007 is certainly no exception to that rule.  Following are several events being held in the Buckeye State over the next two months that include the chance to learn about history in something other than a traditional "inside" conference setting.  If you know of others, send us an e-mail at: info@preservationohio.org and we will add them to this list.
