Artist, friend of WCHS and writer for the Dayton Daily News, Rodney Veal, wrote and article highlighting Harmon Museum and the Warren County Historical Society as a whole.
"Imagine an organization that is equal parts Carrilon Park and Dayton Art Institute by way of the Smithsonian. What a wonderful introduction to the hidden cultural gems of our larger community."

We're 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. 

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 Wash 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.

In the News - Beedle Station

8/1/2019

​Beedle Station was the first settlement in Warren County and consisted of three buildings. Two were lost to time long ago, but the last had been converted into a Victorian home and lived in until the 1970s! An order for demolition was put in for the removal of the building but our mission to preserve and present history led our director to intercede. Now, with the help of a team of volunteers, the cabin is being cleared of debris and will be moved to its new home in the park next to Harmon Museum. Learn more about the recovery/renovation project on the Dayton Daily News page.
