Grand River Historical Society — Attraction in Chillicothe

What a wonderful museum. Went on a weekend trip and checked out this Museum and what a wonderful surprise. We didn't check out any reviews or anything on this little gem, we just decided to visit. Outside we were like, okay it is someone's house Hahaha. We walked in and was greeted by a wonderful lady who gave us a run down of where things and exhibits going on.
