#poorfarmfriday - Established in 1854 with the purchase of a 120-acre farm the original Monroe County Infirmary was a two-story brick building with 13 rooms. Administration occupied a portion of the main building, including a separate kitchen and dining room. Inmates had their own kitchen. For many years, the Ohio State Board of Charities called the Monroe County Infirmary void of conveniences and urged county commissioners to construct a new building. in 1899, a modern structure opened to the public and was in operation until 1978, then became known as the Monroe County Care Center. Monroe County Care Center is still in operation today and is located in Woodsfield, Ohio.

See photos all of the Poor Farm sites when you visit the award-winning "For Comfort & Convenience" exhibit!⁠ You can also read about all the infirmary buildings in our "Ohio's Infirmary Buildings" book, by Holly Hartlerode Kirkendall.

We have yet to have a visitor from Monroe County visit us. If you are from Monroe County and you visit us, please let staff know so that we can take your photo and add it to our statewide community photo mural.
