Mahoning Valley Historical Society’s upcoming “Bites and Bits of History” will explore the lives of veterans and first responders buried at Oak Hill Cemetery and the important roles they played in Valley history.
Traci Manning, curator of education at MVHS, will lead the program. It occurs noon, Thursday, Nov. 19 at the Tyler History Center, 325 W. Federal St., Youngstown.
Attendees are invited to pack a lunch and join MVHS for this free educational program.
From the Revolutionary War and Vietnam to the Youngstown Police Department’s first line-of-duty death, the presentation will highlight the courage, sacrifice and dedication of veterans, police officers, fire fighters and other first responders interred at Oak Hill.
Manning oversees outreach and educational programming for students, adults and the general public at MVHS. She holds a bachelor’s degree in religion from Gettysburg College, a master’s in applied history from Shippensburg University, and studied secondary social studies education at Wilson College.
“Bites and Bits of History” lunchtime programs are underwritten by the John and Loretta Hynes Foundation.
