Voting Home / Kelso House Museum
Nominated for: BEST Museum
Brimfield Township's historical society is dedicated to the preservation of its culture and history. The spirit of volunteerism has been the greatest part of the success and growth of the Association. The forty-one Charter Members signed on with determination and raised enough money to move William Kelso's Inn, built in1833, from its original site south of Brimfield Center to newly purchased land next to Brimfield Elementary School.
Nine original volunteers gathered on September 20th, 1963 and held the first work day to ready the Kelso House for the journey to its new location. The Greek Revival style house remains the focus of the Commons today. Over the years, a garden house, corncrib, granary, and barn have been added to the grounds.
