From 1900 to 1937 a far different structure, the residence of Jerry and Laura Dunham Crary, stood on the site where the Crary Art Gallery now stands.
Warren
County Seat and site of the National Historic District. Founded in 1795, the city was named for General Joseph Warren.
Oil and lumber supported the wealthy barons in the 19th and 20th centuries, leaving a legacy of over 600 extraordinary structures in 25 different styles of architecture. A self-guided walking tour of the 28 tree-lined blocks in the historic district points out these structures. A must-visit on your walking tour is the Struthers Library Theatre. Various eclectic restaurants and shops are located in the downtown area.
Each summer, visitors are invited to attend the Music in the Park programs held downtown every Friday evening. The Four Flags Celebration held during Memorial Day weekend celebrates Warren's history with patriotic readings, brass bands, and barbershoppers. For over 50 years, the Warren Jaycees have sponsored a Fourth of July Celebration that includes a parade, carnival, and fireworks. Visitors attend from throughout the region.
Museums
The 3500-square-foot Blair Corporation Museum holds a collection of items as old as the company itself: one-hundred-year-old letters, seventy-year-old products, and machines from the 1940s through today's computers.
Organizations
Warren County Historical Society is located in the Struthers-Wetmore-Schimmelfeng House, built in 1873 in the Italian Renaissance style. It is a solid structure today, but the veranda and balcony are gone. It proudly serves as the information center for the Warren Historic District.
