Museums Around Mansfield, OH - Haring Realty

According to iconic science-fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein, "A generation which ignores history has no past and no future." Explore the area's rich historical legacy at these incredible museums near Mansfield homes for sale.

  • Little Buckeye Children's Museum - 44 W. 4th St., Mansfield 44902
    Kids have so much fun at Little Buckeye Children's Museum that they don't even realize they're learning. Scientific studies show playtime goes beyond simple entertainment by helping kids develop problem-solving abilities along with social and motor skills. Exhibits are designed to use real-life concepts such as a post office, an auto repair shop, and even a McDonald's to teach practical skills and spark imagination. The museum is also available for birthday parties accommodating up to 50 people. Daily admission is $9 for guests aged 2 and older. Hours are 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. weekdays, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday and noon - 5 p.m. Sunday. Note that the museum is closed Monday and Tuesday between Labor Day and Memorial Day.

  • Mansfield Fire Museum & Educational Center - 1265 W. 4th St., Mansfield 44906
    Kids and adults alike are fascinated by firefighters and the activities at a fire station. Mansfield Fire Museum & Educational Center provides an in-depth look at the history of firefighting, dating to the days of "bucket brigades." Step back in time to Mansfield circa 1900 when you tour a reproduction of downtown Main Street, including a fire station and the famous Coney Island. Watch for flickering lights, shadow people, and other reported paranormal happenings. Admission is free for all guests and souvenirs are available. Mansfield Fire Museum is open on weekends from 1 - 4 p.m. between mid-May and mid-October. Tours are also offered by appointment.

  • Oak Hill Cottage - 310 Springmill St., Mansfield 44903
    The term "cottage" usually brings to mind a cozy waterfront dwelling, generally used for vacations. But in the 19th century, "cottage" often referred to a large country villa. Oak Hill Cottage, which falls under the latter category, is one of the more stunning examples of dramatic Gothic Revival-style architecture in the United States. Maintained by Richland County Historical Society, Oak Hill Cottage still contains furnishings and artifacts belonging to the family of Dr. Johannes Jones, the last people to reside in the home. In addition, the carriage house holds the only known remaining "horseless carriage" built by the National Vehicle Company in 1905. Admission, which includes the carriage house, is $5 for adults and $1 kids aged 12 and under. Hours are 2 p.m. - 5 p.m. each Sunday from April to December except Easter.

  • Ohio State Reformatory - 100 Reformatory Road, Mansfield 44905
    When thinking about historical places to visit, a prison may not be a place that immediately leaps to mind. Make an exception for Ohio State Reformatory, a truly breathtaking building with a colorful past. The grounds originally served as a training camp for Civil War soldiers before construction of the reformatory in the late 1800s. Designed with a blend of Victorian Gothic, Richardsonian Romanesque, and Queen Anne architectural styles, the reformatory features the world's largest free-standing steel cell block. Ohio State Reformatory's chief claim to fame is as the setting for The Shawshank Redemption, the deeply beloved film based on a Stephen King novella. The building, which still holds memorabilia from the movie, is one of the stops on the Shawshank Trail, a sightseeing path through 15 featured locations. Guided and self-guided tours are offered for prices ranging from $5 - $20. Hours are 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday.
