Garst Museum — Attraction in Greenville

When we arrived we were greeted right away. The staff was very informative with people throughout the museum to answer our questions and offer historical facts about the area and the items in the museum. The map they gave us was helpful in making sure we did not miss any rooms.

There were volunteers there that were very helpful and informative. I found the stairs up to the military rooms to be sterp but walkable.

I also visited the genealogy research center within the museum. The staff was very helpful and ready to assist as needed. They have information on many of Ohio counties.

We spent about 3 hours exploring the museum. This is a great place to learn about...
