The Preble County Historical Society - where an exciting past is your future. This non-profit organization was organized in 1971 and celebrated 50 years with the mission to preserve and promote Preble County history for all generations. The center is a 255-acre farmstead located at 7693 Swartsel Road in Eaton Ohio (off Ohio 122 South). The property includes an 1860’s original farmhouse, an 1813 Log Home, a Bank Barn, an 1855 Smokehouse, and a Large Exhibit Hall full of collections from all around Preble County. Recently, the society built a brand-new outdoor education and events center, to host educational groups, schools, homeschool clubs, scouting activities, small weddings, and other programs. You will also find 7 hiking trails on the property full of exploration, native plants, bridges, and a historic creek that runs through. You can also find a large outdoor amphitheater for concerts, theatre productions, dance recitals, and more. If you would like to schedule your group, small or large, please contact us to book your program. We are excited about our 2024 theme "The Year of Conservation". The possibilities are endless. Our park is OPEN 7 days a week from dawn until dusk.
