Stan Hywet is creating The Families That Built Akron, an exhibit & video series for our 2026 season to coincide with America 250-Ohio --our state's commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S.

We need your help.

We're looking for photos, videos/films, & other supplemental documents to capture important moments from YOUR family’s history in the Greater Akron area. There does not need to be a link between your story and Stan Hywet’s story. Our goal for this exhibit is to emphasize the significant role of individuals & families in creating Akron’s vibrant community.

Click here for more information and to indicate interest to have your family memories considered for our exhibit.

Submissions will be accepted until Aug. 31, 2025.
