Wood Co. HIstorical Museaum

Wood Co. Historical Museaum

Despite being rained out of our Canal trip, we had a great day practicing conversation and field tripping at the Wood Co. Historical Museaum.

Wow we have had yet another enlightening experience right here in Wood County! Our brains are filled with lots of information! Would you have liked to have lived here in the home for the mental ill or been here as part of the poor farm? Would you have liked to have retired to this government run facility? Did you realized that the United States had poor farms? What did you think of the lunatic house?

Aside from all of this, what was your favorite part of this field trip? What did you learn from this experience? Try to keep up with your readings and we'll work on the our creative writing portfolio tomorrow! : ) Dorinda

  1. Simply I liked everything in the Wood County Historical Center & Museum. From the grocery store until the home for the mental ill, every room of this former Infirmary had their own magic that made us travelled to those days. Today, in this trip, we could discover new things about Ohio history, which is undoubtely rich.

  3. I got a great deal of information this afternoon. In the museum the most interesting things for me are the items of World War 2, because I like military. The instruments of torture which were used in old Ohio are also in the museum, they look very horrific. I am afraid of them, I feel so happy that people don't use them anymore.

  4. I have seen many things in Wood county historical hospital; Old female underwears, farming machines, life-size models of native Americans, and so on. First of all, i was impressed with the murderer's severed fingers. It hasn't been rotten until now. Even if i were born here, i wouldn't live in the building. When i entered the lunatic house, i felt creepy. Today, I could understand what the past people in the building had used and how they had lived here.

  5. Hi guys,
    I’m writing you guys about my trip to the Wood County Museum. Firstly, it was great museum and the Wood County Museum was fun and interesting look it. It has a history of the Ohio that we can learn about many things. Every room display many things that related to the history of the cities in the Ohio like Native Indians, Black Swamp and medicine. The trip to the Wood County Museum was useful to me.

  9. Han Tao...I too wondered why they have kept those poor woman's fingers for so long. I know they were evidence again her husband, but sheesh... To display them like that is abit...well out of the ordinary. I guess her murder must have been very shocking in its butality. It made me wonder if her ghost walks the halls looking for her fingers....
