In conjunction with the America250 Celebration in downtown East Liverpool, the Upper Ohio Valley Museum and Learning Center at the Lou Holtz Hall of Fame is inviting the public to attend a historical lecture by Taylor Abbott on Saturday, July 11, at 11 a.m.. The presentation will explore the Sinking of the Scioto, a Fourth of July river disaster that left over 50 people from East Liverpool dead. Abbott, the co-founder and president of the Ohio Valley River Museum will share his research into this tragic incident and provide other historical insights into river transportation. The lecture will provide attendees with a deeper understanding of regional river history and the lasting impact of steamboat disasters on local communities. The program is open to the public and admission to the event is free but donations are greatly appreciated.
