6/19 European Contact & the Battle for North America: 1550-1783 - Spain, England, France, Holland and Russia battle Native America and each other for control of North America. The American Revolution brings forth a new country.

Cozy Mystery Book Club
June 22, 2020 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Zoom,
Most of the cozy mysteries take place in a small, picturesque town or village, with characters who you could envision having as neighbors or friends.(Of course, once you find out who the killer is, you wouldn't particularly want that person living next to you!) They are usually not zany people, although an eccentric or two might lurk here and there.On the whole, they are usually normal, every day characters you might have known at one time in your life. Cozies don't usually involve a lot of gory details or explicit "adult situations," either. You don't all read the same book.
For this meeting you may choose any author you'd like to read. This is a free Zoom event.
This is normally a drop in class; however, we will be holding this as a virtual online event using Zoom. You must register in advance to get the Zoom link to attend.
To join, register online or call the office. If you already participate in programs or events through the UA Parks and Recreation Department, you already have an account created. If you need assistance to register, call the front desk M-F, from 8 am-4 pm at 614-583-5320.

Cozy Mystery Book Club
July 20, 2020 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Zoom,
Most of the cozy mysteries take place in a small, picturesque town or village, with characters who you could envision having as neighbors or friends.(Of course, once you find out who the killer is, you wouldn't particularly want that person living next to you!) They are usually not zany people, although an eccentric or two might lurk here and there.On the whole, they are usually normal, every day characters you might have known at one time in your life. Cozies don't usually involve a lot of gory details or explicit "adult situations," either. You don't all read the same book.
For this meeting you may choose any author you'd like to read. This is a free Zoom event.
This is normally a drop in class; however, we will be holding this as a virtual online event using Zoom. You must register in advance to get the Zoom link to attend.
To join, register online or call the office. If you already participate in programs or events through the UA Parks and Recreation Department, you already have an account created. If you need assistance to register, call the front desk M-F, from 8 am-4 pm at 614-583-5320.

The Surrounding States - Ohio shares a border with several states and one foreign country. We look at the history and current prospects of the places surrounding Ohio.
7/24: Pennsylvania - Founded in 1683 as an English colony, Pennsylvania was big, prosperous and in the middle of much of early American history. In many ways it still is.
7/31: West Virginia - Founded by Civil War, this part of western Virginia played a critical role in the opening of the Trans-Appalachian west. It is a place where much has changed in the past two centuries, but much has not changed much at all.
8/7: Kentucky - Also previously part of Virginia, Kentucky was a battleground in the American Revolution and the birth place of the Presidents of both sides in the Civil War. A place of enormous contrasts and extraordinary possibilities.
8/14: Indiana - Carved from the Northwest Territory after the American Revolution, Indiana has shared a lot of history and a number of the challenges with neighboring Ohio. It also a story of its own to tell.
8/21: Michigan - The state came close to going to war with Ohio over - who should own Toledo! Prospering in the industrial revolution, the state now faces great challenges - especially during football season.
8/28: Ontario - While looking at Canada as a whole, we focus specifically on Ontario and the cities bordering Lake Erie. This part of Canada has shared a lot of history - and not all of it bucolic - with its neighbor to the South.

The Surrounding States - Ohio shares a border with several states and one foreign country. We look at the history and current prospects of the places surrounding Ohio.
7/24: Pennsylvania - Founded in 1683 as an English colony, Pennsylvania was big, prosperous and in the middle of much of early American history. In many ways it still is.
7/31: West Virginia - Founded by Civil War, this part of western Virginia played a critical role in the opening of the Trans-Appalachian west. It is a place where much has changed in the past two centuries, but much has not changed much at all.
8/7: Kentucky - Also previously part of Virginia, Kentucky was a battleground in the American Revolution and the birth place of the Presidents of both sides in the Civil War. A place of enormous contrasts and extraordinary possibilities.
8/14: Indiana - Carved from the Northwest Territory after the American Revolution, Indiana has shared a lot of history and a number of the challenges with neighboring Ohio. It also a story of its own to tell.
8/21: Michigan - The state came close to going to war with Ohio over - who should own Toledo! Prospering in the industrial revolution, the state now faces great challenges - especially during football season.
8/28: Ontario - While looking at Canada as a whole, we focus specifically on Ontario and the cities bordering Lake Erie. This part of Canada has shared a lot of history - and not all of it bucolic - with its neighbor to the South.

The Surrounding States - Ohio shares a border with several states and one foreign country. We look at the history and current prospects of the places surrounding Ohio.
7/24: Pennsylvania - Founded in 1683 as an English colony, Pennsylvania was big, prosperous and in the middle of much of early American history. In many ways it still is.
7/31: West Virginia - Founded by Civil War, this part of western Virginia played a critical role in the opening of the Trans-Appalachian west. It is a place where much has changed in the past two centuries, but much has not changed much at all.
8/7: Kentucky - Also previously part of Virginia, Kentucky was a battleground in the American Revolution and the birth place of the Presidents of both sides in the Civil War. A place of enormous contrasts and extraordinary possibilities.
8/14: Indiana - Carved from the Northwest Territory after the American Revolution, Indiana has shared a lot of history and a number of the challenges with neighboring Ohio. It also a story of its own to tell.
8/21: Michigan - The state came close to going to war with Ohio over - who should own Toledo! Prospering in the industrial revolution, the state now faces great challenges - especially during football season.
8/28: Ontario - While looking at Canada as a whole, we focus specifically on Ontario and the cities bordering Lake Erie. This part of Canada has shared a lot of history - and not all of it bucolic - with its neighbor to the South.
