The Cuyahoga River has been at the heart of life in Northeast Ohio for thousands of years, yet the enduring vision of the Cuyahoga is that of β€œthe Burning River.” Join the Cleveland History Center to look behind the myth to see what history tells us really happens, and why the 1969 fire and Cleveland became the face of the industrial urban crisis.
