HISTORY & HERITAGE
Our history is tied to the
steel industry. Learn
about the steelworkers
and the wealth the
industry brought to our
area by visiting The
Steel Museum and the
Arms Family Museum.
Enjoy lunch downtown
at Overture and peek
inside adjacent DeYor
Performing Arts
Center, a theater built
by Youngstown natives,
The Warner Brothers.
Learn more about local
history at the Tyler
History Center just
across the street. Find the Mill Creek Furnace next to Pioneer
Pavilion in Mill Creek Park. This blast furnace, the first within
the city limits, marked the beginning of the iron and steel
industry in the Mahoning Valley. There are over 200 Ohio
historical markers in our area. Visit remarkableohio.org and
search Mahoning County to begin your hunt.
