About Us
The Richland County Museum is dedicated to the preservation and presentation of the history of Richland County, Ohio. Housed in a circa 1850 school house, the Museum displays a variety of artifacts from the 19th and 20th Centuries, illustrating the rich history of our area.
Museum volunteers serve as docents during regular Museum hours, lead special tours for school and club groups, and take the Museum “on the road” to classrooms and meeting halls around Richland County, and to events at Malabar Farm State Park. Volunteers also supply the necessary “behind-the-scenes” brain and muscle, designing and executing displays, conserving artifacts, and planning programs and events.
Volunteers demonstrate scrub board techniques at Malabar Farm State Park's Heritage Days.
Built in 1850, the new Lexington School was state-of-the-art for its time. Now, it houses an extensive collection of artifacts from Richland County’s two centuries of history.
Please join us for a trip back through history, our own history, in Richland County, Ohio.
Open May through October, Sunday afternoons from 1:30 to 4:30.
The Herb Garden
