URGENT!!!
Please contact your representatives. The Senate is considering ending funding for the Ohio Historical Society Local Office. You may not think that this is a big deal, but it is. The Local History Office supports museums and historical societies in Ohio. Without them many educational opportunities will be gone. Please go the Ohio Historical Society web page and click on "legislative up date".

Weekend Hours
Thanks "anonymous" for your question about weekend hours. We do not have regular weekend hours due to lack of volunteers, but the Farm Museum, located on Fairgrounds Road, Kenton will be open on July 4. The Farm Museum will also be open on July 25 for a hog roast and auction. The Sullivan Johnson House will be be open June 27 and 28 for Gene Autry Days and August 8 (evening) before the annual fund raiser A Night at the Museum.
I wish we could be open every weekend, but I cannot get people to give up a Sunday afternoon to be a docent. Is no one interested in history? I know that not much, if any, local history is taught in school. Hardin County is rich is history from the Shawnee, the early settlers, to the world famous Kenton Cast Iron Toys. I could jut go on, and on, but I will save that diatribe for another day.
