As we celebrate Gahanna’s 175th anniversary, hear about one of the City’s many inspiring stories – the story of the Big Walnut Country Club. Once one of the first Black country clubs in the United States, the Big Walnut Country Club was a social, political, and professional hub for the Black community.
