General William Tecumseh Sherman grew up here and then lived in the home with his family. It has been lovingly restored with many of the families own belongings. Each tour is guided and narrated by a local knowledgeable docent. You get plenty of details about how they lived, who they socialized with, (Henry Clay and Daniel Webster) as well as historical information about Lancaster. Furnishings are beautiful with pieces dating back to the 1800's. This is a must do when you visit.

Great small museum. I'd heard about it for years (they've been there since about 1998) but never…read morehad a chance to stop in. Yesterday, I made things work. They were open, it was a nice day, I had free time. Walking in was, for me, like going home. I used to volunteer at an air museum, and this had the same feel: friendly, knowledgeable people, mostly retired. Planes and artifacts wedged in a smallish space. The sounds, sights, and smells of aviation. And, a few familiar "faces": a couple of planes from our museum ended up here. One of them, a Culver Cadet, hung in the Columbus airport terminal for years, so many people will recognize it: yellow with red stripes, it was built in Columbus in the '40s. They also have several Stinsons, a gyrocopter, a 3/4 scale P-51 replica, and a Folland Gnat. I gnew Gnats were small, but standing beside it really makes that obvious. It could almost fit in my garage, and yet was an effective fighter. Outside was a Pober Baby Ace homebuilt, and a Beech 18 (look for that as you drive up.) They also have several military vehicles, lots of uniforms, a reading room, etc. There's a helicopter school next door, so there was also the noise and activity of a typical small airport. Stop by and see them, and soak up some aviation history. They have an open house in May with free plane rides for kids.

I'd see another concert there but there are definitely pros and cons. Pros: -Intimate, cozy space. I love that you can wait on the first level before doors open -Super clean bathrooms -Good sound mixing Cons: -The floors in the concert hall are awful. They shook substantially when people walked and were very noisy. The gentleman behind me was a toe tapper (no shame! Totally normal) but the floors made it seem like Godzilla was wrecking a city behind me -Volunteers served as ushers and they were... Confused. We were taken to the wrong seats (even side instead of odd) and the guys taking tickets were similarly befuddled -The layout of the plastic chairs in the back of the bottom section felt haphazard.

The past reviewer visited in the Museum's downturn period. She visited 3 yrs prior I'd say it be a much better experience. As there was a Professional curator at that time. Im sure in time it will get better again if economy improves. The Museum now goes by Ohio Ceramic Center

Odd little roadside attraction. The only thing national about it must be its proximity to the…read moreNational Road. It is definitely local. The gentleman who gave us the tour was sweet but didn't know much about ceramics-I don't think he was the proprietor. The exhibits were dusty and rind of homemade. The most amazing part was a local ceramics painter who had a special exhibit featuring his work, and his cremated remains in an urn he made. Next to it was the second urn for his longtime partner, awaiting his ashes as well. So Ohio is probably a lot more ready for gay marriage than I thought. There was a gift shop, but they didn't turn on the lights so it was hard to see. If you wanted to know more about history, they had reference books and video lectures. I think the Zanesville art museum had much nicer exhibits of the best of this area, but this place had a birck patio in the shape of the state of Ohio in handmade Ohio bricks. So it was quirky and local.

Says "Ohio's Small Town Museum" but it is mainly about Ashville and the nearby towns, just barely extending to Circleville and Columbus. In the entry (I think the building is an old theater) are exhibits that might come from Ripley's Believe it or Not: odd creatures, bizarre stories from the area, weird artifacts. Loads of fun; the placards are small, but the docent handed me a book with pages marked for each item. Handy and easy way to learn more about the displays. Overhead you will see the world's oldest traffic light- still signalling directions! Farther back are pretty much the usual local museum displays, on natural history, prominent people, sports, indigenous people, assorted collections, and more. All of it well arranged and cared for. The place isn't huge but you could spend an hour, if you look at all the interesting things tucked away here and there. This is an amazing place, better than most small historical societies, and I'll stop back next time I'm in town.
