About Wellington

Learn more about the host city, Wellington.

Wellington is a small town in Lorain county, Ohio, some 20 miles south of Lake Erie. It was established in 1855 and came to national prominence in 1858 when some three dozen men stormed the town hotel, rescued a runaway slave from a US posse, and smuggled him to freedom in Canada.
