“Intriguing Objects & Curiosities”
“What IS that?” is a question often asked by visitors, volunteers and even staff of the Butler County Historical Society. A new exhibit in the Benninghofen Museum, “Intriguing Objects and Curiosities,” invites visitors to use their knowledge of history to identify artifacts from the Society’s basement, closets and back shelves. Categories in the exhibit include personal hygiene, clothing and accessories, medical devices, hobbies, toys, needlework, household items and more. Even easily identified objects provide a fascinating glimpse of life at an earlier time. The exhibit is available for viewing until April 30th.
The Butler County Historical Society is located at 327 N. Second Street, Hamilton, Ohio. Hours of operation are Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and Saturday from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. Tours of the Benninghofen Museum are free, however no tours will begin within an hour of closing. On and off-street parking is available. The first floor of the Benninghofen Museum is wheelchair accessible.
