Locals and visitors alike will enjoy this step back through time into Put-in-Bay's forgotten past. An island vacation getaway on Lake Erie, Put-in-Bay is known today for its family fun, cocktail culture, dining and live entertainment, but a deep-rooted history lies beyond.

Virtually no traces remain of a blockhouse and cemetery dating back to the War of 1812. Join author and investigative historian William G. Krejci on this journey to an island of yesterday.
