This week, we reflect on the rich history of Lake Erie, named after the Erie people who once thrived along its southern shore. Their legacy lives on in the waters that connect communities across the region.

In the 19th century, Sandusky blossomed as a vital Great Lakes hub, bustling with ships carrying coal, lumber, and ice. Today, its roots remain woven into the fabric of the area’s maritime heritage.

Cedar Point, now linked to the Sandusky mainland by the Cedar Point Causeway, continues to honor this history while offering modern-day visitors a bridge to the past and a gateway to the lake’s enduring beauty.
