See other dates and locations for this program on our events calendar.
In the mid to late 19th century, Spiritualism – a religious movement centered on communication with the dead – swept into Northeast Ohio.
This program will address how Clevelanders embraced Spiritualism and how they reacted as some Spiritualists, both locally and nationally, tried to use “new” technologies like photography to capture scientific evidence of life after death. Some made earnest attempts, while others mounted carefully conceived efforts to double-cross believers.
Presented by the Western Reserve Historical Society.
Located across from University Hospitals Parma Medical Center and adjacent to city hall, the Parma-Powers Branch offers a full service drive-up window, community meeting spaces and an interactive children’s area featuring artwork by beloved writer/illustrator Rosemary Wells.
