Ted Lewis Museum

Ted Lewis Museum

(1 review)

I've driven through Circleville so many times, and often saw the highway sign: "Home of Ted Lewis."…read more At first I thought it meant the ballplayer, but I looked him up, and Lewis was a local boy, famous musician and showman. I knew a few of his songs (you do too.) And I think I've heard parodies of him from Spike Jones and Looney Tunes. Plus I'd been to the park he donated to the city. The museum is small but amazing. His tux and top hat, movie and concert posters, instruments, and much more, all artfully arranged and carefully described. Interactive stations to listen to and watch Lewis perform. A small theater in the back with clips from his appearances on Ed Sullivan. He played with lots of other famous people. Also a bit of Circleville history, about the circle and other mounds the place was built on. Built in 1848, the building seems to be the last remaining original lot; if you look closely you can see how it is wedge-shaped. Later lots and buildings were reshaped to follow right angles. The docent was very informative and enthusiastic. It's free, but of course they could use a donation. Highly recommended for any history buff, local resident, or music aficionado.

From the owner: Welcome to the "The Capital of the World," Circleville, Ohio, and the Ted Lewis Museum. Founded in…read more1977, the museum is dedicated to preserving the legacy of one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Journey through the life of Theodore Leopold Friedman from his childhood - playing clarinet in the Circleville Cadet Band - to his attempts to run away with medicine shows and carnivals to avoid working inhis father's store. Learn how he was crowned "The King of Jazz" and won his battered old top hat in a dice game. Listen to the songs he made famous including "When My Baby Smiles At Me," "Tiger Rag," "On the Sunny Side of the Street," and his signature routine, "Me and My Shadow." Watch historic film and television appearances and experience his amazing 65-year career in show business. The Museum is closed December 25-February 28 and on holidays. To schedule free tours outside of open hours please email or call museum.

I'd rate it a solid 3.5 but for the sake of the stars, I'm giving it a 4 - especially for a free…read morefair! Friday around noon was so busy, but it was expected since the weather was gorgeous. There are mostly good vendors above all else, but it's also the best blooming onion (and I look forward to it every year!) We park for free and walk a bit of a distance. I love seeing the homes decorated for Halloween! We don't ride fair rides, but we do live to people watch and, this year, we caught the pet parade which was really great! So much bigger than I ever expected and some very sweet pets in adorable costumes!! Love trying the different treats. Though it's not homemade, I got a pumpkin roll from the Shriners booth and it was pretty tasty and for a good cause. Also purchased some homemade buckeyes from a church group that were awesome. Always love seeing the giant pumpkins, too! I do wish they had more local vendors for buying gifts. The vendors are mainly cheap mass produced junk shop goods (and a lot of gross political things.) Just not my vibe at all. I still think it's worth a visit though! It's well run and a great way to get into the spooky season!

It's okay now it is way more food vendors than anything it's not a lot of pumpkin exhibitions and…read moreit's not a lot of other things going on you will find small places of people singing and things like that but if you like carnival food this is the place for you to be
