YSU AND HISTORY: Youngstown State University’s history department would take over the daily operations of the Youngstown Historical Center of Industry and Labor, commonly known as the steel museum, on Wood Street under an arrangement being negotiated with the Ohio Historical Society, which owns and operates the museum. Part of the university’s history department would relocate to the building, which houses exhibits such as the one above depicting a worker clocking in at the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. plant in 1930. The museum would remain open to the public.
