The Wood County Historical Center and Museum is the original site of the Wood County Infirmary, which was in operation from 1869 to 1971. The site re-opened as an Historical Center & Museum in 1975, and has rotating exhibits and self-guided tours inside, plus a public park outside with trails, picnic tables, herb garden, and original out-buildings. The Historical Center also hosts a variety of educational experiences and public events throughout the year. Current main attraction is the Over There! Send Word, the Wood County Boys are Coming! exhibit, which focuses on America’s entrance into the First World War and how it affected the men and women of Wood County, Ohio.
