Did you know one of the first African American outdoor camps in the nation, Camp Mueller, was located within the Cuyahoga Valley? Join Dr. Rasul A. Mowatt for a discussion on the camp to learn how its history is not only significant to Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) but to the broader history of Cleveland as well.

As co-principal investigator, Dr. Mowatt led a study examining historical records around Camp Mueller, highlighting the need to further interpret and preserve African American history in and near CVNP.

Join us for a fun evening of reflection and dreaming. We will use a rapid, PechaKucha-style slideshow of Cuyahoga Valley National Park’s history as a springboard for imagining the park in 2074. Participants will brainstorm what key moments and ideas might define the next 50 years. Then, a panel of community leaders will share their thoughts on our national park and our region’s future.
