From WOOD COUNTY HISTORICAL MUSEUM
Under the guidelines set by the Ohio Department of Health and Wood County Commissioners, the Wood County Museum will remain closed to the public until further notice. As we await a date to re-open the museum, staff have made some difficult decisions regarding 2020 programming.
In the interest of public health, the 2020 Tea Series will be rescheduled for 2021. All of the speakers slated for 2020 are still excited to share their stories, so all program topics will remain the same. All reservations will automatically transfer to its corresponding 2021 date unless we are notified otherwise. Any attendee that would not like to make this transfer can contact the museum for a refund or may consider their payment a tax-deductible donation to help offset the impact of COVID-19.
The creative team at the Wood County Museum wants to keep you connected, and is thrilled to announce new rotating outdoor porch exhibits for the public throughout the summer. The first exhibit, “Journey Stories,” shows how the evolution of transportation and mobility changed the landscape of early Wood County & is a nod towards the 2020 bicentennial. This exhibit will be on display from the museum porch through Wednesday, May 27.
Other events are pending with updates posted regularly on our website and social media. We are hopeful that programs such as Living History (August), Here’s to your Health Historic Whiskey Tasting (September), and German-American Day (October) will continue in some form under the social distancing guidelines.
