Dan Hanson, founder of ClevelandPeople.com and president of the board of the Cleveland International Hall of Fame, visited Guilford House on Tuesday, November 12, 2024. He spoke to captivated attendees about the history of such immense ethnic diversity in Cleveland and the evolution of CWRU’s neighbor and Cleveland’s gem, The Cleveland Cultural Gardens. Even students currently in their final year at CWRU learned a surprising amount of information they had never known before. Hanson is a strong presence in the NE Ohio area and is a very knowledgeable, personable, and engaging speaker about this Land we all inhabit. He promised to return soon to share even more!

This visit was another one of the activities surrounding the Kelvin Smith Library special exhibit this fall – SLOW MATTERS: Intersecting Food and Fields, curated by DMLL’s Denise Caterinacci and Jacqueline Nanfito.
