What happens after dark? Night at the Museum at Ohio History Center

See what happens in a museum after hours…do the exhibits come to life?  Find out for yourself at A Night at the Museum at Ohio History Center Museum on Saturday, March 1, 2025 from 7-9 pm.

The whole family will love checking out the exhibits and meeting characters from different time periods. 

Meet and interact with soldiers from the Civil War, help a Tuskegee airman find his plane, go inside a 1950s pre-fab house and chat with the homeowners, talk to vintage baseball players and more.

Dozens of different characters will be roaming the museum, and you can learn all about their unique place in Ohio history. There are hands’ on activities for the kids too.
