The
Warren County Historical Society Museum is located in historic downtown
Lebanon, Ohio (just two doors south of the Golden Lamb Inn) and is acclaimed
as one of the nation’s most outstanding county museums. Inside you will find
a host of exhibits on early Americana ranging from prehistoric times through
the Victorian age and beyond. Most notable are the museum’s extensive
paleontology and archaeology collections, its Village Green exhibit where
antique toys, clocks, guns and clothing are arranged in charming storefront
exhibits, and its Shaker Gallery which features one of the largest collections
of Shaker artifacts found anywhere. Other noteworthy exhibits include a
pioneer cabin, unique collections of horse-drawn vehicles, early farming
tools, furniture and folk art. There is also a local history and genealogy
library that houses a vast quantity of manuscripts and reference material.
The museum store, The Rocking Horse, sells Shaker reproductions, decorative
accessories and books.
The historical society also owns and operates Glendower Historic
Mansion at 105 Cincinnati Ave. in Lebanon, Ohio 45036. Admission is the same.
The house is open Wednesday through Sunday from Noon to 4pm during the summer,
weekends in the spring and fall.
