About Delhi Historical Society

The Delhi Historical Society maintains a farmhouse museum in Cincinnati where visitors explore exhibits about Delhi Township's past. The 1870s Witterstaetter Farmhouse contains three exhibit rooms with permanent and changing displays, including exhibits on George Remus and the bootleg era, the township's people and stories, and Delhi's floriculture heritage that earned it the name "Floral Paradise of Ohio." A centerpiece is the early 20th-century kitchen, where visitors learn how families worked, ate, and lived without modern electrical appliances, running water, or central heat. The museum also features a historic greenhouse. The society maintains a Research Center with extensive archives including census records, wills, deeds, and newspapers for those researching genealogy and local history. Educational programs on township history occur monthly, and the society arranges group tours for organizations. The farmhouse museum operates on select days, welcoming visitors interested in understanding how Delhi developed and the lives of those who lived there.
