    1. [OHLORAIN] Columbia info, greenhouses & early map
    2. NM Meyers
    3. Thanks Curt, for adding to Columbia information. Your family has been in LC since 1900 so you probably are more familiar with the township infromation than I am. I brought my own family here in the mid 60's. While employed at the LCHS, I was fortunate to have had rewarding acquaintances with three of Columbia Township's historians thru the years. Mary Melnyk (who gave wonderful programs on antique jewelery) Bob MacIntyre, writer and a former Trustee of LCHS and the late genealogist/historian Lucille MacClellan. My last visit to the Columbia Historical Society and the Bronson House was over three years ago. So tell us what is happening out there these days? I did get a copy of their 1995 book on the local greenhouses. Will make a call to the Society soon because I am very curious about the name Copopa. It was really big business, in fact that is what brought me here. My husband had worked for a company that traveled the country buidling new glass greenhouses and repairing those that had some storm damage. There were so many greenhouses in Avon, Columbia, Elyria & Ridgeville townships. It was a very large LC industry at one time. Now to the map....Bob had told me long ago, that a 1808 map of Columbia Township is owned by the Olmsted Historical Society. Nancy M. Meyers, Lorain OH
