The Ohio History Connection, known before as the Ohio Historical Society, is a network of historic museum and historic sites across Ohio, one of the largest in the States. This statewide history organization was established in 1885 in order to encourage interest in the history of Ohio and its rich stories.

The Ohio History Connection is focused on sharing and preserving the state’s history, including housing the headquarters of Ohio History Connection, the state historic preservation office, the official Ohio archives, local history office, and over 50 museums and historic sites across Ohio. Part of the Ohio History Center is the Ohio Village, a vivid recreation of an original 1860 town.
