Learn about Delaware County History, native American Indians, and early European settlers.

An all-day program for kids in grades 2 through 6 focusing on Delaware county's early history with native Americans and European settlers.

The goal of this one-day program is for kids to ignite a love of history in children, bringing young people into our museum sites and spark friendships among the children.

Join us for our program on May 5th where Katie Schmitt, long-time Delaware resident, will be attending as we recognize her talents after the Decoding History Through Art program.

Katie created beautiful woven tapestries from the late 1960s through the early 2000s. Her focus was on both pictorial and abstract designs, many of which were commissioned by businesses, churches and individuals. She was a member of the artists’ co-op at Studios on High in Columbus’ Short North district.

Busy Historical Society(ies) weekend. Started Saturday morning with 8 great volunteers changing 600 incandescent cafe bulbs in our Barn at Stratford for 600 LED bulbs - savings on electric bill will be around $800.00 for the first year. It took them only an hour to make the change - a "well oiled machine".

After the Great Light Bulb Escapade, a few stayed and dove into the Great Paint Adventure and painted the back of wall and one of our portable bars at the Barn at Stratford. What a great group of volunteers.

On Sunday, visited the Historical Museum for their 2026 opening and then stopped at our Delaware County Historical Society Cryder Research Library to watch around 20 adults and children make botanical prints ala John Robinson under the direction of Cindy Kerr. How fund to see dads working on pictures of delicate flowers with their children.

A fun Historical Society weekend
