Visit the Hilliard Historical Village & Museum
Step back in time at the Hilliard Historical Village & Museum, nestled in downtown Hilliard’s Weaver Park. This immersive two-hour field trip brings history to life as students explore daily life as it was in the 1800s. Classes rotate through authentic 19th-century buildings relocated from the Hilliard area, including a log cabin, one-room schoolhouse, caboose, train station, barn and church.
The experience is enhanced with hands-on exhibits, period rooms in our museum, and engaging presentations led by trained tour guides dressed in period clothing. Designed specifically for third-grade students and aligned with Ohio’s academic standards, our tour provides a fun, educational, and memorable learning experience. To make your visit even more special, bring a packed lunch and enjoy our picnic tables in the park before or after your tour.

History-In-A- Suitcase Program
What is your History In A Suitcase Program?
“History In A Suitcase” is a program where we come to you! Period dressed docents will come to your school or other organization and share the history of Hilliard and various historical artifacts.
Our presentation consists of a brief history of how and why Hilliard was settled with the emphasis on life in the 1800s. As we show our artifacts, we explain what it was like to grow up in a log cabin, attend a one-room schoolhouse and the importance of making a living raising crops and livestock in Ohio, especially the Hilliard area.
This program can also serve as a great introduction before a more in-depth visit to the Hilliard Historical Village & Museum. Please complete the form below to set up a program for your organization or school.
A minimum fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) shall be requested for (10) or more persons. If interested, complete the application below.
