Inverted Intersections II, The Corners Where You Live, Canton, Ohio
At our March 19th Soup at Six, I will debut the second installment of the Intersections Series!
Central Plaza, in Canton during the 60’s. The Location of the First Market House.
In this next adventure you will learn of the many locations of the Market House, sometimes managed by the City of Canton. Eventually the Market House would be privately managed. You will have the chance to reminisce, or learn for the first time of the Canton Institution, The Arcade Market! The Market House was a place of variety, fellowship, and strength for the City of Canton!
You will also discover the multiple locations of the Canton Chapter of the American Red Cross. Clara Barton traveling in Europe to “rest,” learned of the Red Cross. She returned to the United States to establish the American Red Cross, and lead it for the first 23 years of its life!
This Program is dedicated to the numerous service organizations both past and present who give and have given countless years of service to our community!
