Dayton History in partnership with Time Warner Cable Southwest Ohio, invites you to experience our new national philanthropic initiative involving science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).We are addressing the STEM crisis together by introducing youth to opportunities and resources that inspire them to develop the important STEM skills they need to become the problem solvers of tomorrow. Eighty percent of jobs in the next decade will require science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills. This next generation needs these skills to solve our nation’s greatest challenges.

The Next FREE Connect A Million Minds program:

Buildings from the Ground Up

This program introduces students to the building methods and materials found on many Miami Valley buildings. Students
will organize, observe and analyze construction methods and designs from the 18th, 19th and 20th century buildings at Carillon Park. Students will discover how architectural and natural resources provide a record of community development.

at Deeds Carillon

April 24, 2011

Join us Easter Sunday at Deeds Carillon for the return of our annual nondenominational service. The entire community is invited to attend this free, ecumenical celebration presented jointly by Dayton History and Greater Dayton Christian Connections. The event starts at 6:30 a.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets for seating.

This engaging and powerful event continues a 68-year annual tradition. The original Easter Sunrise Service, held in 1942, allowed Mrs. Edith Walton Deeds to unveil Deeds Carillon to hundreds of eager Daytonians. Mrs. Deeds, an accomplished musician, had dreamed of sharing music with the public through a carillon ever since her European travels during the 1930s.

Since that first concert, countless thousands have enjoyed carillon concerts and cultural events around the tower. Deeds Carillon is the largest carillon in Ohio and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. We hope to see you at Deeds Carillon on Easter Sunday morning!

Higher than Ever in 2011!

With the unveiling of many new buildings and exhibits in 2011, the value of a Dayton History membership will be higher than ever.

• New Buildings & Exhibits: On April 17th, we will unveil two newly relocated historic buildings at the Park: the Hetzel Summer Kitchen and the Newcom House.

• Walking Trails: On May 25th, we will open the first phase of a new system of walking trails at the Park.

• Culp’s Café: Our members now receive a 10% discount at Culp’s Café. (Be sure to let your server know you are a member.)

• Annual Meeting And So Much More: Attend the members-only Annual Meeting on August 19, 2011, when we will officially dedicate the new Heritage Center of Manufacturing and Entrepreneurship at the Park.

• Walk through the original Deeds Barn and see our new special exhibition, “Dayton’s Self Starters…Igniting a Legacy.”

• Take a ride on our new Dayton Carousel of Innovation.

• Stroll through the Heritage Center’s extensive new exhibit space.

As a result of these exciting additions, we plan to slightly raise membership rates for Individuals, Families and Grandparents on

July 1, 2011.
