NEW POSITION: The Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County has created a new position for the library, Technology Coordinator. O.J. Meeks will be th
Director of operations at Historic Fort Steuben and the Steubenville Visitors Center.
A recent donation to Historic Fort Steuben came rolling through the doors of the Visitor Center last month in the form of a four-passenger surrey. This great vehicle, fully restored, dates to 1909 and features plush seats and a top with fringe going all the way around. This holiday season it was fun to see children and parents alike climb up and pretend they were rolling through town in grand style. Why not allow folks to experience this piece of the past? After I got the song from the musical “Oklahoma!” out of my head, I began to ponder about the things of the past. Specifically, things and industries connected with carriages that were commonplace to our city predecessors but are little known to us today.
