The entire museum was interesting with the highlight being the Dean Martin Room, since he is from here. I was particularly interested in the Paddlewheels, as my great great grandfather used to build those boats to go up and down the Ohio River. By the way, if you get a chance, definitely do the tour of historical homes. Some are more restored than others, but a couple of them look like museums inside themselves. The Historical Association is a very cool place for a small town. They were welcoming and inviting and they even served cookies to visitors that day. Nice touch!

My mom and I stumbled upon this hidden gem well visiting Stubenville Nutcracker VIllage. The…read moreStubenville Nutracker Village offered free trolley ride on the half hour, to check out their downtown to look at the main streets filled with life size themed nutcrackers and a stop at the museum. Tom, our tour guide and the rest of the board members went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, explaining everything in the museum and their town of Stubenville, Ohio. For any Dean Martin fans, they even had a Dean Martin room. Thanks for making the time memorable, and enlightening my knowledge of another great small town in Ohio.

Visited the Nutcracker Village here this year and loved it! I had been several years ago but there…read moreweren't nearly as many nutcrackers at the time from what I remember. This year we walked up and down the streets where nutcrackers were lined up and it was so fun to look at each one. Along the way we would stop into stores and browse. They also have a market set up with local vendors selling a variety of goods, crafts and yummy eats and drinks! They also had Christmas trees outside with different themes. One benefited the Humane Society and you could write your pets name on a wooden ornament. Very cute. I really recommend you stop by. I think this is a cute activity for families and children or a date night. I will continue to visit!

The premises were quiet as we were basically the only guests there so we essentially got a private tour. The grounds are beautiful and it's always great to learn about the history of our region.

Bradford House was built by the lawyer David Bradford in 1788 and today is a National Historic…read moreLandmark and museum. David, his wife, his many children, and his servants lived in this stone house until 1794, when they fled to avoid David's arrest for his role in the Whiskey Rebellion. Depending on the month, Bradford House offers drop-in and scheduled tours. The drop-in tours are for individuals and small groups and have no admission fee, although donations are appreciated. Group tours should be arranged in advance and do have an admission fee. I read on their website that for groups they offer dining-room parties that serve teas and 18th-century-style foods--sounds fun! My husband and I were walk-ins for a tour. Two docents who were dressed in period clothing walked us through the house: the foyer, parlor, and dining room on the first floor; the beautiful mahogany stairwell and the simpler servants' stairwell; and the sewing room, children's room, master bedroom, and servants' quarters on the top floor. In addition, a docent walked us to the backyard that contained an herb garden, well, and log kitchen cabin (which has occasional hearth-cooking demonstrations). A small gift shop offered merchandise such as books and t-shirts. The docents throughly explained the history of the house, its architecture and renovation, the furniture (which is from the time period but was not owned by the Bradfords), etcetera, and they kindly answered our questions. I did not time our tour, but we were there for probably about one hour. Educational and interesting!

Things are only somewhat different today. We need to learn from our past mistakes. Thank you for taking the time to sit down and speak to us Dr. Maddox you are a very inspiring man. You opened my eyes not only to history. But how to look at my life not just through someone's else's eyes but to my own. You are correct when you say," Everyone has a story to tell." Wouldn't be great if we could all sit down and listen to everyone's story peacefully? Thank you again the visit to your museum is the highlight of my trip home. G-d bless you.

Pretty much every place in the Ohio Valley that isn't a part of a franchise gets at least 3 stars…read morefrom me, if you haven't noticed, ha. Despite being located across from (what used to be) Martins Ferry High School, I'm pretty sure most people in Martins Ferry don't know about the Sedgwick House. It doesn't really stand out amongst the other houses in this mostly residential area. To be honest, I wouldn't have known (or cared) about it either, but every Christmas the choir had a concert outside of here. Hey, they gave us hot chocolate. Yum. I don't really remember anything about the Sedgwick House Museum, or its historical significance, or what's inside, but I like adding places in the Valley to Yelp for when other Yelpers are forced to end up there. Oh, and it's only $3. Might as well check it out :)
