Lake Erie: Ohio ‘s Great Lake
explores Lake Erie’s impact on the history, economy, agriculture,
recreation and industry of communities in Ohio. Using archival film,
photographs and high definition footage, the film illustrates how
this invaluable natural resource influences virtually every aspect
of the lives of those living near the lake. It examines the geology
of how the lake was created; the Native American presence; the settlement
of the state; the recreation the lake provides; and the impact of
industry, agriculture and human interaction on the lake itself.
From the historical significance that helped in establishing
America to the natural resources that have nurtured agriculture
and industry, the documentary profiles the communities along the
lake’s shore and throughout the state of Ohio that are affected
each day by Lake Erie.
