Fodor's Review:
This two-building complex, just past the Ohio State Fairgrounds, is a storehouse for the state archives. Collections, presenting the history of the Buckeye State from the Ice Age to 1970, range from Native American fossils to papers written by Ohio political leaders. Permanent exhibits include artifacts on the state's industrial progress such as an operating 1880s carriage shop and vintage automobiles; the chronology of the prehistoric and historic Indian cultures; and the interaction of man and nature in plants, animals, geology, geography, and climate.
