Join us for our next webinar on Wednesday, February 25th at 1 pm.
The Lustron Corporation was short-lived in out of Columbus in the 1940s but has made a long pop culture impact. The Ohio History Center has an exhibit about the 1950s with a Lustron House as its centerpiece. Two staff that worked on the research and creation of that exhibit will discuss the Lustron Corporation, its impact, and reception that the home continues to receive in the museum.
