Step Back in Time: Victorian House Museum and Millersburg Glass Museum Welcome Visitors – Museums Re-Open
History comes to life in the heart of Ohio’s Amish Country as the Holmes County Historical Society proudly announces the grand reopening of the Victorian House Museum and Millersburg Glass Museum — two must-visit attractions that offer a fascinating blend of local history, fine craftsmanship, and timeless beauty. Hours are weekends only in March, Sat. and Sunday 1:00-4:00 pm. April – Oct. Tues. – Sunday 1:00-4:00 pm, closed Monday.
Nestled in the charming village of Millersburg, these two museums create a perfect destination for history lovers, collectors, families, and anyone seeking a unique cultural experience while exploring scenic Holmes County.
Tour a Mansion Steeped in History
The Victorian House Museum, a breathtaking 28-room mansion built in 1902, invites visitors to wander through exquisitely restored rooms filled with period furnishings, local artifacts, and the stories of the families who lived there. From ornate woodwork and stained glass windows to elegant parlors and authentic antiques, every detail paints a picture of life in the early 1900s.
Whether you’re a fan of architectural history, Victorian design, or just love exploring beautiful old homes, the Victorian House promises an unforgettable step back in time.
Discover the Artistry of Millersburg Glass
Right next door, the Millersburg Glass Museum tells the story of a fleeting yet brilliant chapter in American glassmaking history. Operating for only a few short years between 1909 and 1912, the Millersburg Glass Company produced some of the rarest and most collectible glassware in the world. New for 2025 is the recent addition to the display of the rare ruffled top blue Peoples Vase purchased in 2024 by museum curator Chris Sieverdes for $250,000.
Visitors can marvel at an incredible collection of Millersburg’s signature iridescent carnival glass and crystal pieces — each a shimmering work of art and a testament to the creativity and innovation of creator John Fenton. Collectors and history buffs alike will appreciate this rare glimpse into a nearly lost legacy.
