A 136 foot diorama of the National Road plus many objects illustrate this theme. Second is Zane Grey, the "Father of the Adult Western." The Zanesville author wrote more than 80 books. His study is recreated plus many manuscripts and other memorabilia are displayed. Finally, a central portion of the museum is devoted to Ohio art pottery. Hours: May 1 - September 30, 2010.
