JHM is celebrating Coshocton’s bicentennial with this exhibit, open through January 2, 2011, of antiques, personal keepsakes and Coshocton memorabilia belonging to Coshocton residents.

The collections are eclectic, ranging from locally manufactured items such as Pope-Gosser china, West Lafayette enamelware, and American Art Works Coca Cola trays to American antiques such as kaleidoscopes and cut glass. With over twenty collections on display, the exhibit will be of interest to everyone. Visitors will also have the opportunity to look inside the mind of the collectors as each display includes the reason the owner chose these particular objects to collect and the method that was used to collect them.

Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum’s mission is to serve the local community and the broader audience generated by the Museum’s location in Historic Roscoe Village, holding its possessions in trust for all people to use as a source of learning and enjoyment. Its goal is to contribute to society as an educational tool, family activity, visitor attraction, source of community awareness and pride, and a resource for scholarly research.
