Description

Come and Discover Clovernook Center beginning at 5 p.m. on September 23! A piece of history since 1903 and serving the Blind & Visually Impaired for over 100 years. Clovernook Center has been working for the past century to empower individuals who are visually impaired to be self-sufficient members of their community. The organization’s founders, sisters Florence and Georgia Trader, began this work in 1903 when they took up the cause to provide for the blind in an era of sparse social services. Clovernook has proudly served women, men, and children for over 100 years. Our rich history provides the backdrop for today’s progressive and caring campus-like environment, where we remain dedicated to adults and children who are blind or visually impaired. The largest braille print house in the world Clovernook’s Braille Printing House has been in operation since 1914 and was the first braille producer to be led and operated by individuals who were blind and visually impaired. Clovernook Center has grown to become one of the largest global producers of braille—nearly 30 million pages are shipped from our doors to individuals, libraries, and global consumers annually. At Discover Clovernook, you’ll also get a glimpse into the history of Cary Cottage, a quaint white brick cottage on the front lawn with a large sign proclaiming its listing on the National Historic Register, and all the historic treasures it contains. Cary Cottage has a rich history that links to Clovernook Center’s campus back to the earliest days of the Ohio frontier, and whose inhabitants’ desire to advocate for the disadvantaged and disenfranchised paralleled our founders a century later. Come and Discover Clovernook – a piece of history that began in 1832 and is still thriving today as the largest Braille Print house by volume across the globe.
