Thursday Time Capsule at the Museum of Ceramics with Laura Zeh.

Today’s photograph captures the 1903 flood of Jethro.
In 1838, land developer Nathaniel Martin is credited with laying out the original Village of Jethro, located west of East Liverpool near the residence of Thomas Fawcett. The community later expanded through the “L. Pickle Addition” around 1874 before being annexed into the East Liverpool Corporation limits in 1877.
This image offers a glimpse into the early history and hardships faced by the residents of this once-separate village.

Friday Find with Laura Zeh

On a recent visit to Mark’s Landing, I had the pleasure of sitting at a table featuring the history of the Acme Craftware Company. The tabletop included photographs, historical information, and even pieces of Weeping Gold china embedded right into the table itself!

The Acme Craftware Company was founded in Wellsville, Ohio in 1941. One of its most popular wares was Weeping Gold, featuring 22K gold decoration. Weeping Gold became popular in mid-century American homes.
