Century Village Museum, Burton

About Century Village Museum

Century Village Museum in Burton preserves the homes, trades, and stories of Geauga County through authentically restored buildings and a working farm. Visitors walk among period structures that capture daily life in 19th-century Ohio, explore collections and archives of artifacts and photographs, and experience gardens and grounds that connect them to historical rhythms of the land. The museum hosts seasonal events including the Apple Butter Festival and Pancake Breakfast, featuring traditional activities like apple-butter kettles and autumn traditions. Educational programs and guided tours bring local history to life for school groups and individual visitors of all ages. The site functions as both a museum and a working farm, operated by the Geauga County Historical Society as an independent nonprofit. A visit suits anyone interested in regional history, preservation, and hands-on learning about how people lived and worked in the region's past.
