You can only visit the inside of the house on a tour so made sure to note the times on the day of your visit. Brittany was our tour guide and she was fantastic.

The mansion is nicely done with some legit family heirlooms and lots of period correct furnishings. The museum is small but nice. Not busy on Sunday afternoon and very fair price. My only complaint is the length of tour, almost 2 full hours, its too much. Mt. Vernon, Monticello, other historical homes 'more important' are half that.

How has this not been reviewed already? It's an amazing museum…read more I came often as a kid since my grandparents lived nearby. It was just in one house then, a pretty typical small-town historical society with stuff crammed in display cases, and filling every room down to the basement. Cool for a history buff, but nothing spectacular. We went yesterday as part of the Ohio Statehood Day events, and, wow. They have added the house next door, and an addition in the back, and it is now an incredible museum. The volunteers were very friendly and knowledgeable. The displays are beautiful and informative. All aspects of local history are covered. There are train sets, dolls, military artifacts, cars, covered wagons... All sorts of things, nicely restored. During our visit there was old-time music, a special display of early American weapons, costumed interpreters, etc. They said they decorate for Christmas with historical toys and decorations. We had a great visit and stayed till closing time. I would set aside at least an hour, better 2 or 3. This is a local gem, and worth a detour from anywhere in the state.

Tecumseh! performed in the intimate 1200 seat Sugar Mountain amphitheater is one of the best plays…read moreI've seen, ever. Horses, cannons, canoes, bluecoats and deerskin-robed Shawnee tell the story of Tecumseh, a heroic figure in the First Peoples' fight to save their way of life. We took the backstage tour led by two new members of the professional cast - a young man from Kansas, the other from New Orleans. My suggestion for management - and this is really important - you filled the auditorium with 500 back-to-school teenagers (end of August) and they're inattentive chaperones. The chatter, giggles, guffaws went unanswered by the chaperones, whom I gave an F+. They were paid to be there, and did nothing to "teach" the young people theatre etiquette. Removing one or two of the mouths would have taught the rest how to behave. I imagine the producers need the concession revenue and that's why the menu played to the high carb/high-fat options teens favor. While it was a "slow" night for the performance (only 600 guests), cars from Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Indiana drove to see Tecumseh!. These cash paying families were annoyed with the rude teenagers, too. One mom - cranked, "unbelievable". I agree. The actors and the audience deserve better. Management needs to expect more from students and their chaperones. In the meantime, I will share my praise for the production and look for the talented actors in the future productions.

This place basically requires you to purchase the insurance. We were in Ohio from out of state and…read moredecided to see the show based on a magazine we saw. We paid $170 for our family to go and the first act was great. The actors were good and the play itself was good. Then right as the intermission should have ended and the second act act should have come on they cancelled the entire thing. Later I learned it was because of the heat. I get that totally. But they are refusing to give me a refund. They are calling it an act of God. This is not. It's not a pop up storm or lightening that they were not aware of. This is the temperature that they were fully aware of before the play started. They could have explained this and canceled before the things started. And they should make exceptions for people that don't want to drive 15 hours to come back to the state just to see that show. They are completely refusing to do anything more than a rain check. I explained multiple times that we won't be coming back but they refuse to listen. I'm not sure but I think it's illegal to require people to buy insurance. And since this is them cancelling it bonus not coming to the event or choosing. It's their fault not ours. But Jo they will make no such exception. Dishonest venue.

Baby K loved the Junior Ranger brochure, and learned quite a bit from it, the rangers, the movie, and my decrepit memory. We had family to see and it was sprinkling, otherwise we would have stayed longer than an hour. Figure on several hours if you really want to explore. We just missed the big culture gathering on October 14th. Oh, well. Still a fun and educational visit. We'll be back.

Not enough people RSVP'd for an actual party that night so we all bought our own tickets (adult tickets are $15 Thursdays, $25 other days) and met up there. Street parking is available but watch for signs to make sure you aren't parking somewhere that needs a pass. If you can't parallel park, maybe have someone drive who is comfortable doing it. In total, 10 people showed up including a child in a wheelchair. Our tickets were for an hour but I believe we took about 2 hours; there were maybe 4 other people we saw during that time so the owner didn't rush us out. The business has around a dozen themes and several walls with fun graphics and lights. It was easy to start our way in the back and work towards the front. Or you could start on the left or right and work your way around the U shape. It was a really fun way for us to be silly, take photos, and make good memories.
