About this place

Columbus Historical Society is a local history museum that collects and displays artifacts, photos, and stories about Columbus and Central Ohio. Families can attend free talks and events exploring the people and places that shaped the city, and the organization also offers educational programs for both school-age children and adults. The site has its own on-site parking lot, and visitors are encouraged to check the hours page since it closes on major holidays and during weather emergencies. This is a good stop for kids interested in local history, though it leans more toward exhibits and talks than hands-on play.

If you are a member here

A membership to Columbus Historical Society carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
