Reynoldsburg-Truro Historical Society

The Reynoldsburg-Truro Historical Society was founded on October 15, 1975.
In June 1976, Ralph Connell donated space above his Hardware store, and the museum began to collect artifacts. The current museum structure was built in the 1850’s and was donated to the Historical Society by Thad Green and Marissa Ong.
The Society purchased land at the corner of Jackson and Broadwyn Streets in January 1985.
After countless fundraising events, on October 1993, the donated house was moved from Route 256 & Livingston Avenue to its current location at 1485 Jackson Street across the road from the Hannah Aston Middle School. After a major renovation over several years, and the addition of a storage barn, all of the artifacts were moved from the space above Connell’s to the new location, and the Museum doors opened in 2007. The purchase and restoration of the Bennett Garage completed the three-building complex.
