I've been here before- I think the herb society used to be here? Now there are three historic buildings. One the museum, one a log cabin, and the newest (but still 120 year old) houses a B+B and auxiliary museum.We came for the Victorian Christmas event. An old-style Santa, jolly and friendly, was in the log cabin. A roaring fire, period furniture (frontier era,) and docents were also there. A fun experience for Baby K. The museum house is beautifully finished, to a later timescale, perhaps 1860s. In the basement were crafts- ornament and card making, etc. The newer house held more crafts for kids, plus homemade cookies and spiced cider. The volunteers were super friendly and informative. I'll be back another time to spend more time checking out the artifacts when it's less busy.

The fact that this place openly welcomes visitors to its meetings makes me really happy. I find there are few better ways to get a sense of a community, and the individuals seem to really appreciate guests. The meeting, if you want to drop in, is the second Wed of the month at seven in the John Clark House. The house itself is that of the guy who actually founded Gahanna. It's full of old things from the family and is a great example of the preservation of gahannas past. You can drop by during their short but sweet hours, but personally I suggest bringing some friends and making an appointment. You get more personal attention and you'll be sure to have a lot of fun. Don't forget to leave time for the gift shop... there are some yummies there.
