Described by the 1989 Smithsonian Guide to Historic America as "probably the finest museum in America devoted to pre-European history," the Ohio Historical Center is both the headquarters of the Ohio Historical Society and a museum facility showcasing Ohio's history from the ice age to the year 1970.
It is the flagship museum in the society's statewide system of 60 historical sites. The modern, 250,000 square-foot structure consists of a three-story block supported at its base by a glass enclosed, plaza level entrance that is anchored by four massive columns. In addition to the ground level museum space and offices, the building contains a gift shop, a 280 seat auditorium, and the society's Archives/Library, which includes the State Archives of Ohio.
