Ainab and the American Community in Lebanon

This blog was started by Joshua Landis in 2015 to commemorate the American community in Lebanon and particularly of Ainab. He grew up in this hilltop community that was started in 1932-33 by five American University of Beirut families: the Dodd, Close, Leavitt, Kerr, and Crawford families. Later families included: Landis, Crow, Dodge, Eddy, Scott, Gordon and Kennedy. Other families who summered in Shemlan, just below Ainab, include: Dorman, Stoltzfus, Smith, Van Dyck.
