Transportation - September 19, 2024
Did you know that Cleveland was once the Car Capital of the World? In September, we will look at how different modes of transportation in Cleveland changed over time.
- Ages 3-5 will learn about the adventures of Robert Manry aboard his sailboat Tinkerbelle and what it takes to travel solo.
- Ages 6-8 will examine what it means to be the “Car Capital of the World,” learning about car-related businesses that flourished in Northeast Ohio.
- Ages 9-12 will explore car safety and the evolution of cars in our Corvair exhibit, along with the process of the car assembly line.
- Ages 13+ will focus on the design and ethics of the Chevy Corvair, and the car industry of the 1960s.
