Dunham Tavern Museum

 The Rotary Club of Cleveland had a special meeting at the Dunham Tavern Museum on Thursday July 28, 2022.

Once a stagecoach stop on Buffalo-Cleveland-Detroit post road, today Dunham Tavern Museum is the oldest building still standing on its original site in the city of Cleveland.

Rufus and Jane Pratt Dunham came to the Western Reserve in 1819 from Massachusetts and built their first home on the site in 1824, and the existing taproom was built in 1842. It is believed to be the first building constructed on Euclid Avenue east of East 55th Street. It later became a stagecoach stop and tavern.

Cleveland activist and landscape architect, A. Donald Gray purchased the home in 1932, restoring the 19th century architecture and replanting the orchard.

They have a new Executive Director, a new neighbor (the Cleveland Foundation) and a new plan.

Why not Wi-Fi for the entire city of Cleveland?

At Data Days CLE, a 3-day event at the Global Center for Health Innovation bringing together experts and users in the fields of civic technology and data, a question was asked about why we can’t just make Wi-Fi available to the entire city.  Leon Wilson, Chief of Digital Innovation and CIO of the Cleveland Foundation, answered.
