Interior and Exterior picture of the Van Wert County Historical Society

The museum is housed in a three-story stone mansion, fully restored and refurbished with period furniture and accessories as well as a large collection of area historical memorabilia. A restored railroad caboose, historical gazebo, and a one-room schoolhouse are also on display, along with a large collection of agricultural equipment in the red barn located on their property. The museum has recently moved and restored a two-story log house that was built in the 1860s. Adjacent to the log house is a period herb garden, designed by the local Evergreen Garden Club. In 2007, the museum underwent an extensive renovation project which included making the mansion handicapped accessible.  Additional information can be found at the links below.
