Award-winning Akron Beacon Journal journalist, Mark J. Price, whose popular weekly column “This Place, This Time” has appeared in the Akron Beacon Journal since 1998, will be here to discuss his new book “The Rest Is History.” This book explores the history of Akron, Ohio, and Summit County through compelling vignettes, bringing to life bygone days through painstaking research of archival materials, local histories, newspaper records and vintage photographs, plus contemporary interviews. Read about the U.S. president who strolled through the countryside, the Akron stagehand who became a Hollywood icon, the beloved beagle that attended elementary school, the natural landmark that slid underground and the world-famous gadget that caught on in Northeast Ohio. If you enjoy local history, you will not want to miss this event!
