Mission
The Worthington Historical Society (WHS) creates experiences that inspire and promote public interest in Worthington's history. To preserve the city's legacy for future generations, the Society maintains historic properties, interprets collections, and offers educational opportunities. Founded in 1955, WHS celebrates its 70th anniversary this year. It maintains three properties: the Orange Johnson House, the Old Rectory (home to the Doll Museum, offices, Shop, and collections), and the Jeffers Mound. The WHS collects and maintains items directly tied to Worthington's history providing a repository for the community's collective history and materials; objects, photographs, archives, and first person accounts passed down through many mediums that together form a rich, multi-dimensional picture of the city's past. These collections are maintained for the community's benefit.
Program accomplishments
- Preservation and maintenance of three historical properties and collections. Both the Orange Johnson House (High St.) and Old Rectory (New England Ave.) are open to the public. The Orange Johnson House was built in 1811 and the Old Rectory was built in 1845. Both buildings have a long history of service to the City of Worthington. The H.P. Jeffers Mound is considered to be the oldest manmade structure in Worthington, dating back to the time frame 100 B.C. to 400 A.D constructed by people of the Hopewell culture. All three properties are on the National Register of Historic Places. Each of the three properties require significant financial investment to maintain and preserve for future generations.Expenses $31,543 · revenue $53,256
- The Society provides educational opportunities to the public to learn about Worthington history. Established programs include Worthington History Days, which is offered for third graders from all of the 13 Worthington elementary schools (public & private). Students are immersed in the city's history through tours and activities at the Orange Johnson House (1811/1819), St. John's Cemetery & Church and a walking tour of the Historic District's commercial strip. Frequent open houses at the Orange Johnson House that illustrate pioneer lifestyles. Additional educational programs are offered throughout the year with walking tours, bus tours, and ghost tours about Worthington history that provide stories about the buildings, events and people who lived in Worthington.Expenses $5,770 · revenue $5,509
