This small space focusing on three topics unique to the area. Zane Grey his father the national road tracer. And the poetry collection (ornamental ) famous for the area. Take your time sit and watch video. The ZANES father and grandfather were famous. Remember Zanesville was Not named after Zane Grey the writer.

I enjoyed the National Road part of this museum the most. The dioramas showing the various phases of the road were neat to look at & give you a sense of what a major undertaking it was during the 1800s. The other parts of the museum seemed thrown in to take up space- I didn't spend much time looking at... More

We stopped because it was on our way, but got more than we expected. The museum itself is well done. But the tour with "Kat" was fantastic. Her enthusiasm and knowledge were great. She even gave us a map so that we could drive on a part of the original national road and see the 'S' bridge nearby. It was... More

If you're in the area - or even driving through and willing to take time for a short detour [it's just off interstate 70 at exit 164] - this is definitely worth a visit. We visited on a summer morning, arriving shortly after the museum opened, and thus were lucky to have it to ourselves for the first hour. We... More
