From WOOD COUNTY MUSEUM
The Wood County Museum is pleased to host Tedd Long, chief storyteller and curator of HolyToledoHistory.com for a talk over his book “Table for None: Lost Eateries of Toledo” on Tuesday, May 19, at 6 p.m. at the Wood County Museum. Admission will be $7 per person or free for museum members. The price includes the talk, light refreshments, and a self-guided tour of the museum’s exhibits. This talk is part of the Wood County Museum’s America250 lecture series.
Long’s talk will take the audience on a journey back to the restaurants that once defined Toledo’s neighborhoods, celebrations, and everyday life – but have now vanished.
“Table for None: Lost Toledo Eateries” brings to life the stories behind beloved diners, elegant supper clubs, corner taverns, and family-run establishments that shaped Toledo’s food culture. Through historic photos, menus, advertisements, and colorful anecdotes, this presentation explores how these eateries reflected changing tastes, immigration, industry, and social life in Toledo.
This isn’t just a talk about food – it’s about memory, community, and the places where Toledoans gathered to celebrate milestones, conduct business, and feel at home. Audience members are encouraged to reminisce, laugh, and share their own memories of restaurants that live on only in conversation.
Long is an author, blogger, photographer, lecturer, and curator known for his work on holytoledohistory.com. He has earned acclaim for his award-winning books and GPS audio walking and driving tours, including “The Unholy Toledo Tour,” as well as his contributions to the remarkable419 and the Emmy-winning series “Untold: Hidden Stories of Northwest Ohio.”
