The Wood County Museum is happy to announce that after being closed for much of 2023, that they are ready to re-open their doors.

The museum will re-open on October 16^th for tours with normal business hours (10am-4pm). On October 19 at 3:30pm there will be a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the grand re-opening. Following the ribbon cutting, there will be an open house reception until 6pm with cake and light refreshments. This will be a free event open to the public, in partnership with the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce, Perrysburg Chamber of Commerce, and North Baltimore Chamber of Commerce. The Wood County Museum is excited to be able to share the history of Wood County with the public once again in this cherished historical building.
