Malvern Event Explores Historical Significance of Fort Laurens
The Malvern Historical Society is set to host a program exploring the history of Fort Laurens, the only American Continental fort built in Ohio during the Revolutionary War. Scheduled for June 4, the event will feature Doug Angeloni, a retired teacher and historian, who will discuss the fort's historical significance and the stories of the soldiers involved. Fort Laurens, planned by George Washington and his staff, played a crucial role in Ohio's history despite its short existence. The event will also include a raffle to support the Malvern Historical Society.
