Stated aims of the Reynoldsburg-Truro Historical society are to discover, preserve and disseminate knowledge of the history of Reynoldsburg, Ohio and surrounding areas; and to illuminate past lives, events and activities.
In our many years of growth, we have had interested, competent leadership and members who care and give their time to help keep the society developing and reaching out.
The Historical Society has achieved several of its stated goals. Our museum is located at the Heritage Center, a restored home from the 1850's, 1485 Jackson Street in Old Reynoldsburg. There you will find an increasing collection of tools, costumes, photos, household furniture, farm items and published materials relating to historic Reynoldsburg and Truro Township.
