Everything about The Ohio Historical Society totally explained
The
Ohio Historical Society is a
non-profit organization incorporated in 1885 "to promote a knowledge of
archaeology and
history, especially in
Ohio". The society exists to interpret, preserve, collect, and make available evidence of the past, and to provide leadership on furthering knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the
prehistory and history of Ohio and of the broader cultural and natural environments of which Ohio is a part. It was founded by
Brig. Gen. Roeliff Brinkerhoff.
The Society operates dozens of state historic sites across Ohio. Its headquarters is the 250,000-square-foot (23,000 m²) Ohio Historical Center museum in
Columbus, Ohio, a
Brutalist concrete structure. Extensive exhibits cover Ohio's history from the
Ice Age to the present, and the Center includes state archives and library spaces, a gift shop, and administrative and educational facilities. The 1989
Smithsonian Guide to Historic America described the Center as "probably the finest museum in America devoted to pre-European history."
Ohio Village, a reconstructed
Civil War-era town, is on the grounds of the Ohio Historical Center and is home of the renowned Ohio Village Muffins vintage base ball club (pictured right). Since 1981, the Muffins have promoted the preservation of the history of the game as it was played in 1860.
