All donations are tax deductible.
The American Civil War Museum of Ohio is a not-for-profit organization formed to satisfy our community's need for a unique educational museum by collecting, preserving, and interpreting the American Civil War and its impact on the current generation of American people.
Our Civil War exhibits feature artifacts, dioramas, mannequins, audio-visual tools, hands-on experiences, and informational displays. A 20 minute video titled "Ohio's Role in the Civil War" plays in the museum theater for free viewing. We also provide a traveling exhibit for those groups not able to travel to our site.
There is no other museum in this area that can offer the unique Civil War educational experience for children and adults. Whether a Civil War expert or casual history-lover, the American Civil War Museum of Ohio can provide unique enrichment with its diverse programs, exhibits, and activities.
Mission Statement
The American Civil War Museum of Ohio satisfies our community's need for a unique educational museum by collecting, preserving, and interpreting the American Civil War and its impact on the current generation of American people.
Museum Features
The museum offers over 10,000 square feet of exhibit, research, and presentation space to engage every visitor.
There are eight main exhibit areas within the museum. Many have unique learning centers for children and adults. There are over 40 hands-on activities, as we believe history becomes more real when you get to touch!
A gift shop, research library, theater, and presentation room allow guests to experience the American Civil War in many new ways.
