Hey, what's in Toledo's Attic? This particular attic offers a "gateway to Toledo and Northwest Ohio history" and was created jointly by a number of partners, including the University of Toledo and WGTE Public Media. Started in 1995, the project focuses on the region's commercial, industrial, and social history from the late 19th through the late 20th centuries. Along the top of the site, visitors can browse sections such as Tour Toledo, Essays, New Media, Exhibits, and Resources. The Tour Toledo area is quite a delight, and visitors can use the maps to discover Toledo's history and also use the thematic tours, which include Toledo Hotels of the Past and Downtown Toledo Walking Tour and are overlaid on current maps of the city. Moving along, the Exhibits area includes "Wholly Toledo: The Business and Industry that Shaped the City" and "Faces of Steel: The People and History of the Acklin Stamping Company." Finally, visitors can also use the Social Media area to connect with the Attic via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and so on.
