Have you ever wondered how some Westside Cleveland streets got their names? Were they named in honor of prominent people? Perhaps they were named after the landowner who sold their farm to city development?

Join us on this tour to find out which road names have significance to Riverside Cemetery's residents. Presented by Jamie Lynne Owens (author of Cleveland's Riverside Cemetery) and Maria P. Moldovan.

Book signings and sales will follow the event.
