Funded by the United States Department of Education, Rivers, Roads, & Rails is a three-year project that will improve the teaching of American history in school districts located along the Ohio & Erie Canalway. This project is a partnership between the Department of History at Cleveland State University, the National Park Service, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park Association, and thirty regional school districts (with Euclid City Schools as the lead educational partner.)
We are developing this website as part of our process in ecruiting teachers to participate in this exciting three-year journey into the region's and nation's past. Below are a series of informational documents for teachers, administrators, and superintendents. All the files below are in PDF format and readable with Adobe Acrobat.
We now have a program blog, which is now regularly updated; please
