Spirits

Thanks Gene for the kind words. For those of you who do not know Gene - he is with Buckeye State Paranormal and Haunting Investigations. Check out his web site. You will find the results of the results of the investigations done at the Museum. Who would have thought we would be famous for our ghosts? I am not here when the investigations take place but, I co-exist with the spirits on a daily basis, and while I am not exactly afraid, I do give them their space. Stop by and I will tell you some ghost stories.

Welcome

I am pretty new to this blogging, but since I attended a lunch seminar about blogging and social networking, I am hoping this will help get the word out about the Museum. We are so unique. At the Museum you will find the Medal of Honor awarded to Jacob Parrott, the very first recipient of the honor. We have two rooms of the world famous Kenton Cast Iron Toys that were manufactured right here in Kenton, Ohio. The Kenton Toy Collectors, a group of toy collectors, have recently added 2 toys to our collection. We also have two ghosts - Louella Sullivan and Edna Johnson. Louella and her husband Daniel built our house in 1896. Edna is their daughter.

Ok - I don't want to give away too much. Please stop in to see us. We are located in Kenton, Ohio, 223 N. Main St.
