Carlisle Township was the home of the Lorain County Infirmary. In this episode we are speaking with Jared Smith, author the book "Just a Place to Stay Out of the Rain: A History of the Lorain County Infirmary 1868-1976." Jared is a lifelong Carlisle Township resident and historian. He has researched the old Lorain County Infirmary extensively in order to publish his book and found a myriad of fascinating bits of information about the facility. It was one of the few places in the county that provided assistance to the homeless and poor for decades, long before modern institutions and systems of support. Listen in to learn about a part of the history of Carlisle and the county that you may never have encountered before.
