About Us
As the official repository for the Warren County Historical Society, the Harmon Museum in Lebanon, Ohio, preserves and presents over two centuries of regional heritage through world-class collections of Shaker artifacts, local archaeological treasures, maritime and aviation history, the second largest collection of textiles and one of the Midwest's largest permanent exhibitions of exceptional American folk art.
Not only can we trace family lineages through genealogical research, the Harmon Museum brings those names to life. Through our extensive family files, historical archives, and vast collection of physical artifacts, we color in the details of the past, showing you exactly how our ancestors lived, worked, and created. Through rotating exhibitions, seasonal educational programs, and community events, we ensure that the diverse stories, industries, and creative expressions of the Miami Valley are not just remembered, but actively celebrated.
Since 1940, the Warren County Historical Society (WCHS) has been working to preserve and present the heritage of Warren County as well as Southwest Ohio. We are the current stewards of the collection, ensuring its safety for the next generation. WCHS owns and operates the Harmon Museum, the Armstrong Conference Center, and the Beedle Log Cabin. As an independent 501(c)3 non-profit, we are not funded or run by the county; instead, we rely entirely on donations from generous benefactors, membership sales, and event programming. With help from our wonderful members and volunteers, we hope to continue to serve for many years to come.
