Downtown Cuyahoga Falls History Trail: Community Input
Thanks to generous grants from the Ohio & Erie Canalway Coalition and the Ohio Humanities Council and support from the City of Cuyahoga Falls, the Cuyahoga Falls Parks and Recreation Department, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and the Cuyahoga Falls Historical Society, the DTCF Partnership will be constructing a history trail in Downtown Cuyahoga Falls.  

This history trail will include 5-6 waysides (signs) which tell the history of our Downtown in the context of the Cuyahoga River and Falls, our namesake.  This trail can be anywhere along/between Front Street, Second Street, or Riverfront Parkway and from just south of Chestnut Boulevard up to Oakwood Drive.

We are asking for community input to help us understand what history about which you would like to learn.
