Debbie, I am definitely in favor to keep the Campus Martius and Ohio River Museums open. It is the best information on the setttlement of a area of Ohio that was a very important part of the settlement of Ohio. Although I do not live in the area, when I hear of someone going to Ohio that is one of the places I would recommend them to be sure to visit due to it being a very good place to learn about the growing of our country and the state of Ohio. It would be a shame to close it and not give future generations to be able to see it. I wish I could be there but I am unable to travel right now. Thanks for letting me know.
