1937 Portsmouth, Ohio Flood

The Ohio History Connection has collections of all sizes, but sometimes the smallest ones tell the biggest stories. The Mary Thorp Kimball collection consisting of a few written items and some photographs documents one family's experience of the 1937 Ohio River flood in Portsmouth.
The collection was donated by Mary's daughter, Em, who was 9 years old at the time of the disaster, and 90 when she gave the material to the Ohio History Connection.
