The OES visited the Fort Saint Clair Museum on July 1, 2001. After visiting the historic site of Fort Saint Clair, we decided to check out the museum. The museum contained various exhibits from the history of not only the fort, but all of Preble County. For more information on Fort Saint Clair, click on its link above. UPDATE 2022: The OES received word that the museum has been permanently closed. The artifacts and items were donated to the Preble County Historical Society.
Thanks goes to Corrine for taking us to Fort St. Clair Museum.
Location Information: Closed
