Call Directions Website Contact the organization

Muskingum 250 is a 10-person, all volunteer, nonprofit committee operating under the 501c3 of Muskingum County History.

We are joining with a nationwide celebration of our nation’s independence; a “great experiment” to make “liberty and justice for all” possible, that began in 1776 and continues today. Organizations represented by members of the committee are the John and Annie Glenn Museum, the National Rd-Zane Grey Museum, the Muskingum County Genealogical Society, the Zanesville-Muskingum County Convention and Visitor's Bureau, and Muskingum County History.
