A reminder to everyone that the Ohio Historical Society — including the Archives/Library — is closed today (March 28) through April 3. You can thank the Ohio legislature and their massive slashing of OHS’ budget for this.
Other OHS sites closed this week are:
- Adena Mansion & Gardens (Chillicothe)
- Armstrong Air & Space Museum (Waupakoneta)
- Campus Martius Museum (Marietta)
- Dunbar House (Dayton)
- Fort Ancient (Oregonia)
- Fort Meigs (Perrysburg)
- Harding Home (Marion)
- National Afro-American Museum (Wilberforce)
- National Road/Zane Grey Museum (Zanesville)
- Piqua Historical Area (Piqua)
- Serpent Mound (Peebles)
- Wahkeena Nature Preserve (Lancaster)
- Youngstown Historical Center of Industry & Labor (Youngstown)
- Zoar Village (Zoar)

Sadly this is happening all over. I’ve read where other archives and libraries are closing one day a week. It’s inconvenient but lets hope that they don’t decide to close altogether.
Oh, that’s a shame. It’s sad that budget cuts are limiting our access to places like this.
