Here is a list of lost media - photos, footage, etc.

1913 May Day Outing

During the 1913 May Day Outing on May 23, 1913, "motion picture men" recorded footage of several areas of the park including events such as a speech by Billy Sunday. The footage was to be shown at the park and other places during a Moving Picture Exhibitors' League outing on Thursday, June 26, 1913[1].

1913 Sham Battle

A "sham battle" (war reenactment) took place in a field north of the Olentangy Park involving G.A.R. veterans, the Old Guard, Spanish-American War veterans, United States Regulars and others. A Toledo-based firm of "motion picture men" recorded footage of the event. It was one of the first films censored by the new state board[2][3]. Consisting of 10 reels, it was shown at Memorial Hall (also known as "Old COSI") on September 13-14, 1913, accompanied by two patriotic concerts each afternoon and night at 2:30 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. The cost to attend was 25 cents ($28 in 2021) for adults and 10 cents ($3) for school children. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds benefitted the Old Guard to pay for a trip to Chattanooga that September[4][5].
