Wood County Museum — Attraction in Ohio

I was extremely disappointed with our visit. It has changed so much from say 8 to 10 yrs ago. It's not even about the home itself and what it was to the people who stayed there. My brothers worked there to earn money for school. My grandparents were stewards( ran the place) back in the day. Our family is proud of that.

I fall absolutely in love with this place Everytime I drove past it.

I remember decorating this museum for Christmas when I attended Penta, the staff said to stay within their limits because this place is haunted (that sealed the deal for me) I love anything paranormal. And yes, I saw the fingers. For those of you who isn't familiar with "the fingers" go have a look. You will see why. It is truly a sad experience for the poor soul who lost her fingers, but hey ... When Do you ever get to see...
