More than 90 years ago, two men began meeting in Akron to tackle their alcohol addiction. Eventually, they were joined by up to 80 others before moving their meetings to King School. The Highland Square location of those meetings is etched in Akron history, and the two men started a 12-step recovery program that has since gone worldwide. What’s the name of the place where they met? Take the quiz to find out. You can also test your knowledge about new housing in an old factory, quilting and a play about the suffrage movement.
