EveryMuseum.com - Alexandria Museum

The Alexandria Museum is a small house museum in the center of the Village of Alexandria, Licking County, central Ohio. The Museum is volunteer-operated by the Alexandria Community Council, the first Community Council formed in Ohio. The collections were first organized into a Museum in 1963, and found their current home in 1992 when the pre-1860 home of the Peebles family was purchased for the purpose.

COLLECTIONS of the Museum include items related directly to the Village of Alexandria and the surrounding St. Albans township, though that relationship might be derivative, for instance we have a collection of woodcarvings done by a Muskingham County man that were donated to us by his nephew who lived in Alexandria. Some items date from the founding of the Village in 1830, but most are from the late 1800s. We have a large collection of prehistoric stone tools as well. Four of our artifacts are shown in the Ohio Memory Project of the Ohio Bicentennial Commission.
