Old Sparky: Electric Chair History and Ohio Executions at OSR

August 28, 2022 @ 11:30 am - 1:30 pm

|Recurring Event (See all)

One event on August 28, 2022 at 2:30 pm

Learn more about the electric chair’s development, history, and use, along with personal stories of some of the folks sentenced to death. This is not a political discussion focused on capital punishment’s morality, but simply an educational, fact-based presentation. The tour is approximately 1.5 hours long, beginning with a sit-down PowerPoint presentation and Q&A session, followed by a brief, guided, walking tour. Guests will get to visit the actual Ohio electric chair.
Note: Ages 13+ due to sensitive subject matter. All online ticket purchases are final and non-refundable. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to do a date change, based upon tour availability.
