Sitting on 119 acres of rolling, scenic ground, the Drexel J. Thrash Training Center is a quiet, tranquil place to conduct training sessions. Located near the center of the state of Ohio, the Center is accessable to all LIUNA members in the state. We are located on U.S. 36, 12 miles east of Mt. Vernon between Howard and Millwood. We are 1/4 of a mile west of the junction of U.S. 36 and U.S. 62. The Center offers a full training schedule from October through May, with classes offered on a "as needed" basis through the summer. Nearly all training can be performed indoors during inclimate weather.
