Fascinating Ohio: a mountain climber, author and stained-glass studio owner

On May 15, Columbus resident Robert Alt summited the tallest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest.

Since then, his journey has continued. Now he has summited six of the seven highest peaks in the world.

A local author is fusing history lessons with ghost stories to create a fun and interesting way to learn Ohio history.

Having already written two books in his “Ohio Kids” series and coming out with a third, Logan Lyon is continuing his family tradition of finding new ways of teaching.

Middletown, Ohio is the home of the oldest documented continuously operated stained-glass studio in the United States.

Their glass is acquired from all over the world and design techniques date back to the original owners.

We’ll learn more about the history of the BeauVerre Riordan Studio.
