If you are a GRANDparent or a GRANDkid, come to the GRAND event at the museum to find out more about generational differences -- and similarites!

Special Activities:

  • TREASURE HUNT : Tour the museum, barns, and outbuildings to see historic farm equipment and Infirmary-related artifacts.
  • GAMES OF YESTERDAY : Games and activities that were popular in earlier generations.
  • GAMES OF TODAY : Games and activities that are popular with today's youngsters.
  • CRAFTS : Make-n-take activities for all generations.
  • ORAL HISTORIES : Using the Musem's recording devices, interview each other about what it is, or was, like to be a kid.  The interviews will be transcribed and placed in the museum’s archive for future research and exhibits.

There is a suggested $4.00 per adult donation to tour the Museum. $1 for children age 10 and under, free for Historical Society members.

In conjunction with the event, the museum is offering special GRAND memberships through September.  With the purchase of this special membership, grandchildren and grandparents receive free admission to the museum for one year when they visit together. GRAND memberships are available for $20 and renewable on an annual basis.

A GRAND IDEA for the GRAND PEOPLE in your life!

Throughout August and September, we are offering a special, temporary membership to the Wood County Historical Society for Grandparents and Grandchildren.

While our family membership ($25.00) covers all members of the same household, a Grand Membership ($20.00) covers Grandparents and all of their Grandchildren. They will receive FREE admission to the Historical Museum along with other Membership benefits. Choose which Grand Membership works for you:

1) Memberships purchased in the name of a child or a group of siblings in the same household will cover that child (or children) and all of their grandparents.

2) A membership purchased in the name of a grandparent (or grandparents living in the same household) will apply to that grandparent and all of their grandchildren.

Either way, all will receive FREE admission to the Historical Museum along with other Membership benefits.

Grand Membership will be good for one year from date of purchase and are renewable.
