The Lumberton General Store: The Lumberton General Store opened a year ago, but the building it’s in has a long history. It’s been a restaurant and meeting place in Clinton County for decades.

The Ohio Country Podcast: WYSO’s 12-episode series provides a perspective on the history of the region we now call Ohio that very few of us learned in school. It puts the experiences of Miami, Shawnee, Wyandotte, and other American Indian people at the center of a refreshed version of the state’s complicated past and undecided future. This in-depth podcast from WYSO Public Radio is the result of more than a year of reporting, made possible with support from Ohio Humanities. This interview with Neenah Ellis was featured this week in Today From The Ohio Newsroom.
