The Tragic Collinwood School Fire

Join us as we go back to March 4th, 1908, at about nine am, when the worst school fire in history took place just outside of Cleveland Ohio. Learn about the tragic story on the grounds where it took place, and then follow us over to Lake View Cemetery, where we visit the memorial and the final resting place of some of victims. They say you never truly die until the last person speaks your name, so let's keep these individuals alive through their tragic story, and remember the loss this city and nation experienced.

It’s a crazy story. I had heard about it years ago and knew about the memorial. But I’d never been to the location. So I wanted to take a deep dive.

This random video appeared in my feed and I'm so glad it did.
A loss of this magnitude must have been unbelievably heartbreaking for the community. It is good to see the children being remembered.

Very well said! You’re absolutely right and that’s why I really enjoy putting projects like this out, to keep memories alive. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. We do a lot of similar vlogs and topics on the channel so check back in and subscribe if you haven’t already 🙂

Great video! When were you at the cemetery? The monument looks much better and cleaner than it did when I was there last.

The mass grave is at the memorial.

Thank you! I filmed this about two weeks ago. So that’s it as it stands today. They typically do a great job down there. Thanks for watching!
