Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum

The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum is a general interest museum located in Historic Roscoe Village, a restored canal town in east central Ohio.

The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum opened to the public on May 8, 1931. Its collections originate from a bequest by Coshocton natives David M. and John H. Johnson to the city of Coshocton as a memorial to their Johnson and Humrickhouse ancestors. These native-born brothers settled on the West Coast and traveled abroad where they collected American Indian, European and Asian artifacts. Their primary collections consisted of American Indian baskets and beadwork; Asian fine and decorative arts and weaponry; and European and American ceramics, glassware, and textiles. JHM's collections have grown through donations, primarily in areas of local history and pre-historic Ohio Indian tools and points.

Mission Statement: Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum's mission is to serve the local community and the broader audience generated by the Museum's location in Historic Roscoe Village, holding its possessions in trust for all people to use as a source of learning and enjoyment. Its goal is to contribute to society as an educational tool, family activity, visitor attraction, source of community awareness and pride, and a resource for scholarly research.
