We're Always Growing!
There's always something new to see at WCHS properties! We've been working hard to present our ever growing collection in new and exciting ways!
The foundation for the Beedle Log Cabin has been dug and concrete poured. Reconstruction is planned for Spring, 2021.
Currently, in progress at Harmon Museum, we're building and furnishing a Mid-Century Modern Apartment. Our Archeological exhibit received a face-lift and our pre-historic artifacts have been given new life with updated displays. The agricultural collection, in the Farm Heritage Gallery, has been thinned and organized to better showcase the items on display before rotating new items in from storage. And, we'll be able to welcome guests into it all through the Broadway entrance with newly redone front steps.
Glendower Historic Mansion may be closed for the season but the upper floor's wings have been opened up to show the Maid's Quarters and Work Room to better convey the life of those that also lived in the home.
The newly renamed Armstrong Conference Center (the Old Post Office) has a wonderful sign along with the new Armstrong Gallery of Flight. This gallery is dedicated to the men and women, of Warren County, that made great strides in the frontier of the skies and above.

Looking to Volunteer?

|
The number of staff at WCHS is very few. Most of the people who work tirelessly, in the effort to preserve and present the history of Warren County, are volunteers.
We're offering a free membership to all volunteers who commit to 12 hours of service through the end of 2020. If you'd like to join a fun group of history lovers, fill out the form on the volunteer page or call us at 513 932-1817. |
