Giving Tuesday calls us back to Cleveland’s most philanthropic historical figures—from Euclid Avenue. 💰
Indeed, the likes of Rockefeller are painted with disdain as Gilded Age robber barons, but these complicated people were as shrewd as they were charitable. Their donations reflect the era: healthcare, recreation and fine arts.
As a result, Clevelanders inherit sprawling parks, an orchestra with world renown, extraordinary historical art collections and more. ⛲ 🎻 🖼️
Cleveland historian and author Dan Ruminski relays three incredibly charitable families from Millionaires’ Row and seeks to dispel popular Cleveland myths about these figures.
