Museum of the history of the National Road and of Zane Grey and his ancestors’ role in the settling of Ohio.
Zane Grey’s ancestor, Colonel Ebenezer Zane, was commissioned by the Continental Congress to develop a road through the Western Wilderness (Pennsylvania and Ohio at the time). The National Road Museum is located in Norwich, Ohio.
This museum has three main sections: The National Road, Zane Grey, and Ohio pottery (the local area is well known for the quality of pottery made locally). The Zane Grey section has numerous items of interest including books, movie posters, fishing items, and several recreations of Zane Grey settings.
The National Road Museum is now operated by the John and Annie Glenn Foundation (John & Annie Glenn Historic Site) of New Concord, Ohio. The National Road Museum will be open May 1 – September 30.
