The Wood Co. Historical Center and Museum


Friday was a fabulous day at the Wood Co. Historical Center and Museum. We had a wonderful guide Mike, who showed us many things about Northwest Ohio History. He answered many questions and kindly introduced us to new ideas about poverty and general history. Would you have liked to have been a person who had to live here in the 1870's? Another aspect we learned about was that the farm included everything the residents needed to live. This included livestock and gardens. Today there are only remnants of what existed then. There are still gardens, they are only herb gardens. These herb gardens were spectacular. If you had to live here, what type of job would you have done? Would you have liked to have had to sleep in a room with all men and to not have the privacy of just having your own room?
Would it have been an easy life or a hard life? Would you have wanted to have spent your whole life as some did? Remember that over the course of history, over 500 people died while residing here.

  2. I agree with Apple Man about what he said.

    Also, I want to mention that we saw the jail for crazy people and the design of the museum dose not change from the past

    I have a lot of things to write, but I will give the opportunity for my friends to write.

  3. Hey, my reflection about wood county museum. Actually I like that place because, I saw there a lot of history thing what I like to see long time ago. That place tells people a lot of information, but the main thing which I think the best. It is tell people about American people history and old American civilization.
