Thursday, March 12, 2026 Lecture at Canfield Library

Canfield Historical Society presents a free lecture by Paul Rohrbaugh
Driving It Home: General Motors' Lordstown Complex
March 12 | 6:00 PM
Canfield Library

Join us for a presentation by historian Paul Rohrbaugh, author of the soon to be released book Driving It Home: General Motors’ Lordstown Complex, 1956–2019.
His book will be the first full history of the Lordstown GM plant, which played a vital role in the Mahoning Valley’s economy beginning April 28, 1966, when the first car rolled off the line. Paul’s research has included interviews with former workers, archival materials, and resources from UAW Local 1112 which he will share during the lecture.

Paul is a retired Youngstown State University librarian, educator, historian, author, and game designer — and a lifelong Mahoning Valley resident.
We hope you’ll join us for this engaging look at an important chapter in our region’s history!
