Plus it smells much better than Other libraries I've used It's selection is fantastic, The librarians are sweet But even more impressive The computer screens are all clean There is a huge selection, Of books for kids and tots Plus programming and Lego nights And arts and crafts and other stuff but none of it rhymes with "tots," so I'll just say: Excellent library, helpful staff, great selection, fantastic for kids and teens, lots of use after school and good during the day to get work done - plus lovely little touches like a community puzzle and a constantly filled schedule of events.

This place is impressive for a city the size of London, Ohio. There was a lot more here than I had…read moreimagined. Frankly, I figured I'd be in and out in about 15 to 20 minutes, but I was there about an hour. A few qualms first: A few of the displays were pretty messy and didn't look as professionally done as you would typically see in a museum. Some parts of the museum had the feel of an antiques mall as it looked a little disheveled. I'd rather see less but have it displayed better for a better effect. One last thing, they need more signage and descriptions for what these items are. The good and the great: In the main museum, there are different scenes, a parlor, a dentist's office, wartime, Indian artifacts, sports, quilting, general history and a library. The Society's President, Ned DeCamp, greeted me and offered to give me the grand tour which I accepted. His great grandfather by the way, was the dentist who's artifacts were on display. Ned told me he actually had dental work done in the chair on display and had x-rays done with that very x-ray machine. Very cool to have a personal connection to history. Also impressive is the fact that there are two real store fronts and the insides of the business are in the museum. These are real, not reproductions folks. The bank from Sedalia and the Tobacco shop from the corner of High and Main in London are on display for all to see how life was in the late 1800's to early 1900's One thing on display I certainly did no expect to see was the cupola from the Madison County Courthouse which was damaged during the 1974 tornado ( the same one that devastated Xenia Ohio ). The second building contains the above mentioned bank, a 1920's touring car, farm equipment, a cool prototype of an unmanned helicopter and other miscellaneous stuff. On the grounds are a couple log cabins, Ned was gracious enough to show me the top floor (closed to the public) of the two story one. There's also Jonathan Alder's cabin on site. You will also find, a caboose, a late 1800's train station, a blacksmith's shop and a one room school house. All of which are on display and have been saved from being forever lost. If you are a history buff and are in the area, it's worth checking out. It's free by the way, but feel free to leave a little something in the donation box as you leave. You got your money's worth. TIP: They are open limited hours so call ahead to make sure they are open.

They were in the midst of decorating for Christmas but eagerly answered my questions and showed me around. There is a main building with rooms organized into "scenes," another large building with farm equipment, etc., a schoolhouse, a couple of cabins, a train depot... Each seem well-preserved and organized, and there is lots of information about all aspects of local history. Pretty impressive.
