The Ohio Statehouse Museum

The newly constructed Ohio Statehouse Museum, which opened June 10, 2009, houses the Ohio Statehouse Crypt on the ground floor. The Museum will function as an interactive place for learning about Ohio government for more than 80,000 Ohio Statehouse tour visitors annually.

The museum includes interactive, hands-on exhibits that will challenge visitors’ knowledge about Ohio history and the workings of state government, while equipping them to more fully participate as citizens. Historical artifacts and images tell the stories of those who designed and built the Statehouse, and those who have come to serve. Audiovisual media transports visitors to historical events and invites them to imagine themselves as governor or a legislator.

The museum is open weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; weekends noon to 4 p.m.; closed holidays.
