Over the 80+ years the Warren County Historical Society has been in operation, the institution has been entrusted with a wide array of art, artifacts, documents, and textiles. This trust has allowed WCHS to become the largest Shaker collection in the world, the largest art collection between Dayton and Cincinnati, and the second largest textile collection in Southwest Ohio.
