An amazing, awe-inspiring experience! It felt a little like going back in time. For all those who donated their memories and their time, thank you so much!

This is where we got married, now we come back for the fun events with our daughter. She especially loves the herb garden!

A walk through memory lane for older adults and an education for younger ones.
-Shirley, Haskins, Ohio
I visited to see the exhibit on the county homes from all 88 counties in Ohio and their history. Since this museum used to be a county home, it was the perfect venue for this. I have visited before so I wasn’t surprised at how well
done the exhibition was. The staff was very friendly and informative.
-Linda, recent visitor
Best ‘Tea’ I have ever been to! Highly recommend the Historical Museum for a family visit too. Informative and enjoyable.
