Ashland County Historical Society Museum
The Ashland County Historical Society museum is located in the historic district on Center Street. Its campus consists of three houses. The Manor House was the first purchased. It was built by J.P. Cowan in 1859 and sold to P.A. Myers in 1906 to be given to his son Guy and his new bride Kate as a wedding present. It was likely the first brick structure on the street.
Our campus consists of four buildings filled with items that represent the rich history of Ashland County. Highlights are the turn of the century streetscape, military display, and Ashland County Sports Hall of Fame in the Noonan House. The Manor House is a Victorian home built in the mid 1800's. Several well known families lived in the home before it became the Historical Society's very first building. The home is filled with memorabilia from the Victorian era, and is a step back in time from the moment you enter. In the Carriage House, you will find several interesting collections beginning with the Sam Brucato glass figurine display, the Industrial Era displays, and the Thornburg insect collection...a family favorite! In the barn are antique farm tools and an original Studebaker Wagon. We are very proud of our museum and invite you to visit us.
