We’re participating in Ohio Open Doors on Sunday, September 13th at the Orange Johnson House and the Old Rectory. Ohio Open Doors is a statewide event organized by the Ohio History Connection in which local sponsors are opening their historic buildings and landmarks to the public for special tours and programs.
In Worthington, the following sites will be open on Sunday, September 13th with complimentary admission:
- The Orange Johnson House, 956 High Street
Museum open house
- The Old Rectory, 50 West New England Avenue, 2nd floor
Behind the Scenes open house with seldom seen items from the collection on exhibit
- The American Legion, 700 Morning Street
Post 239 of the American Legion was organized in Worthington shortly after the end of World War I in 1919. For veterans, it is a place to gather in the camaraderie of shared experience. Visit the recently renovated post, where historical photographs and documents relating to members will be on display.
- High Road Gallery, 12 East Stafford Street
An artist collective housed in an 1818 building, the Buttles-Pinney-Brown house, constructed by local brickmason Arora Buttles. Enjoy the architecture as well as the current gallery exhibition and work of the resident artists.
- Sharon Memorial Hall, 137 East Dublin-Granville Road
First built as the Wright residence in 1961, this property came under the care of the Trustees of the Sharon Township Memorial in 1945. The building retains many early features including fireplaces and staircase.
