Super regional history museum, esp. if you like transportation.
The Ross County Historical Society的点评
点评:These small city historical museums seem to never disappoint.
Chillicothe was instrumental in the establishmdnt of Ohio as a state, and was the state capitol for the first years.
The museum is set up in three areas. You start with the early history of Chillicothe, seeing several rooms of displays about its founders and leaders. Moving into a largeer room, there are tables celebrating the cty's robus German heritage. To the rear of that room is an extremely rewarding display of historical transportation. Their collection is remarkable, with preseverd horse-drawn bandwagon, hearse, firetruck, and more. Of speical note is the lovingly restored Logan Model f Runabout, a 1905 product of the Chillicothe auto manufacturer that operated 1903-08--so many small auto start-ups in that era!
Note that parts of the museum are off limits unless you pay for the guided tour. I dislike guided tours but the cost is $2 so for many it would be a bargain.
It was an hour well spent.

奇利科西在俄亥俄州建州过程中发挥了重要作用,并在建州初期曾是州首府。
博物馆分为三个区域。首先参观奇利科西的早期历史,参观几个展室,了解其创始人和领导人。之后进入一个更大的展室,那里摆放着一些桌子,展示着这座城市强大的德国文化遗产。展室后方是极具观赏价值的历史交通工具展。馆内藏品丰富,包括保存完好的马车、灵车、消防车等等。特别值得一提的是精心修复的洛根F型轻型汽车,这是奇利科西汽车制造商1905年的产品,该制造商在1903年至1908年间运营——那个年代有太多小型汽车初创企业了!
请注意,博物馆的部分区域禁止入内,除非您付费参加导览游。我不喜欢导览游,但2美元的费用对很多人来说还是很划算的。
这是一个值得度过的一个小时。
