In November, 1977, the Klu Klux Klan held a rally in Columbus, and met at the Howard Johnson Columbus North Motor Lodge. I’m glad for freedom of speech, sad and mad for what that speech consists of. (Post update: I previously thought this motor lodge was in Clintonville, now I believe it was on Rte 161.)

A. B. Graham (Albert Belmont Graham) was one of the key founders of the 4-H Club, and was also a leader in developing the nation’s county extension services that are still so helpful to farmers and gardeners and cooks. In his retirement years Mr. Graham lived at 159 Clinton Heights Avenue in Clintonville. (His son lived in Clintonville as well.) The Clinton Heights house is the last surviving house known to be associated with Mr. Graham, and on this basis the house has recently been put on the Register of Historic Places.
