When we stop and think about how the early settlers of our country were able to get anything accomplished without our modern ammenities, it is just astounding! The traveling was rough, but once they got here, real work began. These tools were the Pioneers' modern day ammenities! WOW! ... See MoreSee Less

You have a fabulous facility there. My family was there in February for the Archeology seminar. We really enjoyed exploring the museum, cemetery and park along the river.

Thank you

Thank you for sharing. Please, do check out the Children's Toy and Doll Museum's our display of the Blennerhassett Dolls. The Margaret Blennerhassett Dolls have been displayed in our museum for a number of years now and whenever we have visitors we often hear glowing comments on this beautiful doll collection. The dolls were donated by Blance Ellision Clarke. The dolls were made by Edna Henderson for the Bicentennial Women's Committee in 1976. The dolls received a First Award from the Guild of Ohio Doll Makers. On the right hand corner of the photo are two dolls which represent Aaron Burr and his daughter Theodosea who had made a visit to the Blennerhasset Island. The drawing of the Blennerhassett's home, found on Blennerhasset Island of Parkersburg, WV., is displayed in the foreground. The drawing was completed and signed by artist Howard H. McGinnis on March 1986. see our postinnng on the following link .https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=children%27s%20toy%20and%20doll%20museum%20blennerhassett&epa=SEARCH_BOX

We all know someone with a strange name or have atleast heard of some crazy names that people have been given. But what about Return? What about Submit? Maybe you have come across the name Mindwell? I certainly have not but let's see what our educator, Glenna Hoff, has to say! ... See MoreSee Less

Most Puritan names died out after around 1662 but there would always be hangers on.

Thank you so much, soooooo interesting.

Just as the early pioneers came together to build our great country, we are coming together to save it!

What an incredible video to show the good during this uncertain time!

This is the Stone Family Mourning Portrait by Jervis Hanks. Many of you may have seen this portrait at the museum but how many are aware of portrait symbolisms? I find portrait symbolism fascinating. Let's hear Glenna Hoff, our education director, talk a little bit about that! ... See MoreSee Less

Did the Stone family live in or near Marietta?

Here is a better photo of the plate taken from the Ohio History Connection. The Virginia Museum of History and Culture has translated the plate below:

“In the year of 1749, of the reign of Louis the 15th, King of France, we Céloron, commander of a detachment sent by Monsieur the Marquis de la Gallissonieré, Governor General of New France, to reestablish tranquility in some Indian villages in these provinces, have buried this plate at the mouth of the River Chinodahichiltha on the 18th of August near the River Ohio, otherwise Beautiful River, as a monument of the renewal of the possession we have taken of the said River Ohio, and of all those which empty into it, and of all the lands on both sides as far as the sources of said rivers, as enjoyed or ought to have been enjoyed by the kings of France preceding, and as they have there maintained themselves by arms and by treaties, especially those of Ryswick, Utrecht, and Aix la Chapelle.” ...

could you increase your volume a little. I have mine turned all the way up and it is not very clear. Thank you Love this

Wow, I did not know about this. No wonder I like everything French. I wish I could have had a longer look at the plaque on the wall but the video ended too soon. I am going to try to tune in every day for this, such a good idea. I always loved the museum. Thankyou.

My family and i got to see that in the museum

Interesting how they kind of guesstimated the Cuyahoga, no names for the two rivers to the west and the Maumee River appears to somehow be part of the Miami.

Ohio is in the eastern United States. So, why are we part of the Northwest Territory??? Does anyone know? Let's have Glenna Hoff, our education director tell us why! ... See MoreSee Less
