DennyG Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 The Ohio Historical Society is among the many facing deficits this year. Their approach is to shut down or delay opening several locations for a week. Not good but it could be worse and, all things considered, this is probably not a bad approach. The following is from the OHS newsletter. Sites to Close March 28-April 3 Adena Mansion & Gardens in Chillicothe, Armstrong Air & Space Museum in Wapakoneta, Campus Martius Museum in Marietta, Dunbar House in Dayton, Fort Ancient near Oregonia, Fort Meigs in Perrysburg, Harding Home in Marion, Ohio Historical Center and Ohio Village in Columbus, National Afro-American Museum in Wilberforce, Piqua Historical Area in Piqua, Wahkeena near Lancaster, Youngstown Historical Center of Industry & Labor in Youngstown and Zoar Village all will be closed March 28–April 3. Several of the sites routinely close during the winter, but would have opened for the summer season March 28. The Society's Archives-Library operations in the Youngstown and Columbus also will be closed March 28–April 3. The Ohio Historic Preservation Office in Columbus will close March 30–April 5.

Alex Burr - hester_nec Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I've visited the Armstrong (as in Neil, and we all know who he is) Air and Space Museum in Wapakoneta - a most interesting place. Tho I found it a little difficult to find even tho it is just off I-75 exit 111. That's why I missed it when I turned off the interstate. I missed the signs while I was dodging traffic. But for all that it is a very interesting musuem and well worth the stop. Hudsonly, Alex Burr Memphis, TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's houses part of the museum and is actually a model of the moon but it looks a lot like a golf ball from Land of the Giants as you drive by. Could be I got the idea of reporting my in-progress travels from neighbor Neil. Of course, he had a lot of help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
