Hidden in Plain Sight: Warren - Answer

This week’s detail can be found on a painted panel beside the entrance to The Saratoga Restaurant at 129 E. Market Street in downtown Warren.

The artwork references both the Trumbull County Courthouse and Warren’s Packard history, tucked alongside one of downtown Warren’s longtime landmarks.

Founded in 1916, the Saratoga Restaurant has operated in downtown Warren for more than a century and remains a familiar gathering place for generations of residents and visitors alike.

This vintage postcard from the TCHS digital catalog shows the Saratoga Restaurant interior. While we do not know the exact date, you can still find much of that classic downtown lunch-counter atmosphere today through the Saratoga’s longtime interior details.

Thank you for exploring downtown Warren with us through Hidden in Plain Sight over the past few weeks. In June, the series will begin expanding into other communities throughout Trumbull County.

Future clues will feature locations included in the “This is Trumbull” Adventure booklet, a local history travel guide created as part of America 250.

Booklets are available through the Tourism Bureau, and you can explore the online version here:

This past week, members of our team drove up to Imagination Station in Toledo. We dropped off production script drafts from the original Star Wars Trilogy, from The Museum of Science Fiction & Fantasy Arts. We are thrilled to partner with them for their wonderful exhibition, Unofficial Galaxies, opening Saturday May 23.

After leaving Toledo, we stopped and visited our friends at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museum for lunch and a behind-the-scenes tour. It's always enlightening to talk with folks who have managed successful museum collections and grounds, and we are grateful for their collaboration and expertise!

Between the Ohio Local History Alliance and the Ohio Museums Association, there are so many ways for museum professionals to connect across the state. We believe that learning from and with each other is crucial, and consider ourselves lucky to be part of an amazing network of colleagues and coworkers.
