Visiting the Ohio Historical Center and Ohio Village is a great way to spend a day with the family. The Ohio Historical Center is home to Ohio's history, and there are exhibits on everything from the state's Native American tribes to the space program. Ohio Village is a replica of an early 1800s village, and it's a great place to learn Ohio history from ancient times to the present.

There are currently six galleries that explore Ohio's pre-history through modern history, and there are plans for future exhibits. The building itself used to be the Ohio State Fairgrounds Coliseum where famous musicians like Elvis Presley and The Beatles once performed. Ohioans can take a tour of the Ohio Statehouse, Ohio Stadium, Ohio Theater, and Ohio Stadium all in one day!

The Ohio Historical Center is currently hosting an exhibit called "Homecoming" where Ohio's history from 1900-1950 is explored with photos and memorabilia representing the era. Ohio is the Buckeye State, and Ohioans are proud of it. Ohio was admitted to the Union on March 1, 1803, becoming Ohio's 17th state in the US.

At Ohio Village in Columbus Ohio, you can walk around in an 1800s village and see what life was like for Ohioans back when. Ohio Village has 30 historic buildings, and Ohio's history gets the living history treatment. Ohioans were farmers in Ohio, so Ohio Village features a working Amish farm with animals you can pet.

One of Ohio's more infamous residents was the outlaw, John Dillinger. Ohioans got to see him live and on stage as he robbed a bank in Ohio Village. Ohioans can spot a replica of the state's first airplane, which was built by Ohioans Wilbur and Orville Wright. Ohio has a wonderful history to explore, and Ohio Historical Center makes it easy with its family-friendly exhibits!
