John D. Rockefeller and Cleveland

Historian and storyteller Dan Ruminski will talk about Cleveland's most famous citizen, John D. Rockefeller.

Learn how the money was made and at what cost. What disease plagued John D. for most of his life? What hobby was he most passionate about? Is he really buried in Lakeview Cemetery? Most importantly, why did John D. really leave Cleveland, the untold story? 

A display of historical pictures will be available for all to enjoy. The event is sponsored by the Friends of the Gates Mills Branch Library and reservations are requested.
