About Southeast Ohio History Center
Southeast Ohio History Center features rotating exhibits drawn from the region's cultural heritage, with current displays including primitive rug-hooking techniques and settlement history from the early American period. Visitors explore through expert guided tours, attend hands-on workshops, and engage with programming centered on textile arts, genealogy, and local history. The center houses the Hayes Family Genealogy Center and the Levering Library, supporting genealogy research and historical study. Library volunteers conduct record searches for a fee, and the center provides digital access to artifacts in its collections. The museum occupies historic uptown Athens, a short walk from Ohio University and downtown restaurants. Kids under twelve enter free; adults pay admission, with discounts available for seniors, educators, military personnel, and first responders. Membership includes free entry and museum store discounts. Tickets are sold online at southeastohiohistory.org.
