MVHS to Acquire Idora Park Memorabilia
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The executive director of the Mahoning Valley Historical Society intends for the newly donated collection of artifacts from the city’s iconic Idora Park to have a reach beyond those who experienced the park personally.
Jim and Toni Amey, founders of the Idora Park Experience, and Bill Lawson, MVHS executive director, signed a formal agreement Monday morning for MVHS to accept the collection of Idora Park memorabilia that the Ameys have collected over the years.
The historical society will convert the second floor of the former IBM Building, which it purchased in 2023, and part of the ground floor garage into exhibit space for the collection.
