The
Oberlin House:
The
Oberlin House: Originally built in 1847, during the height
of the Ohio Canal Era, the Oberlin House is a "Salt-box"
style structure. The house was restored in the early 1970's.
It had been donated to the Heritage Society by Mr. and Mrs.
Maurice Mitchell. Mrs. Mitchell is the granddaughter of the
Oberlin family.
The house serves as a living history museum. Visitors are
guided back in time by "Mrs. Oberlin" or another
costumed member of the Oberlin family who narrates the tour
as though chatting with travelers of a century ago.
