Original Item
This newspaper photograph, published March 18, 1995, shows Charlie Evers leading a group from the Central Ohio Hiking Club through Marion, Ohio.
Serving as both historian and guide, Evers led participants to several of the city’s most notable landmarks, including the Harding Memorial, Marion Cemetery, Heritage Hall, and the Harding Home. His role in the event reflects a deep commitment to preserving and sharing local history beyond his work in broadcasting.
While best known as a voice on WMRN-AM 1490, Evers was also actively involved in community education and civic engagement. Events like this highlight his broader impact in Marion, where storytelling extended from the airwaves into the streets of the city itself.
This photograph is preserved as part of the WMRN Radio History Archive.
