Guilty! I didn’t think this place was going to be interesting! It is! It’s also deceptively huge, and honestly you wouldn’t think it from its demure front door which is in the back where the parking lot is. Ohy, the giant meeting space is well worth a look too. There’s only so much a city budget will allow for a museum. I have to admit It’s obvious this is a labor of love and commitment. And you can get a little bit of everything here. Mostly You see what Victorian style homes were set up once in their rooms, then items are littered across the whole museum showing the history of the past community that made this part of Ohio come into existence in the early 1800’s. The real shockers how they were able to set it up to make it feel like you were there with rooms that engulf you into that time, come and enjoy. If you can stay the night over at the Golden Lamb, that completes the whole experience.
Amazing experience. We can't believe this has been here our entire lives and we have never been. Super interesting collection whether you are local or just passing through. Highly recommend.
Was expecting a small run-down gallery but holy cow it’s a big maze of history that’s really fun to get lost in. Everyone was super nice and went above and beyond to make me and my family welcome. They really made our trip feel special, definitely will be visiting again!!
Awesome museum, much better than expected and much larger as well. The staff was all great and seemed very interested in what they were doing and also loved to help.
WHAT A PLACE!! This museum is a hidden gem in the historic town of Lebanon and just across the street from the storied Golden Lamb Inn/tavern, with plenty of parking. First, there's a little something for everyone from kids to older kids😉! Second-it's HUGE!! It used to be a YMCA as well as other business, so you can imagine the size. Many floors of incredible one of a kind paraphernalia, oddities and historic coolness. The place is 99% handicap accessible (w/elevator) - there is one tiny space that is not accessible. Give yourself at least 2 hours, because there is THAT MUCH TO SEE!! Go now and be amazed at this incredible museum!
Me and my wife both loved this museum. So much local history and a lot bigger museum than we had initially anticipated. Plenty to take in and enjoy here. If you are visiting the area or just want to learn more about history of our local communities I highly suggest checking this museum out.
Something for every interest of all ages. Truly a gem, not to be missed in Warren County! Ancient Indian artifacts, Pioneer log cabin, fine and decorative art, the largest collection of Shaker furniture, mid-century modern Russell Wright, a fantastic genealogy library, and so much more! Their lunch and learns are fabulous, and the Neil Armstrong Conference center is ideal for holding private events.
What a pleasant surprise to see such quality and valuable historical and fine arts collections in a local museum. They even natural history section with superb local fossil examples and archaeological artifacts! The staff is very helpful and the facilities are first class. A real gem in Warren County!
