Ohio Village
Ohio Village, a reconstructed Civil War-era town, is a living museum on the grounds of the Ohio Historical Center. Once open year round, budget cuts forced the Ohio Village to close except for special events, school and tour groups.
The village houses the renowned Ohio Village Muffins, a vintage baseball club. Since 1981, the Muffins have promoted the preservation of the game as it was played in 1860. Competitions were played in 2007 and 2008.
