Thank you very much for your review! We are delighted you enjoyed the "Freedom's Friends History Walk" of Oberlin and hearing about the community's role in the abolition movement.

A concentrated history lesson on the origins and historical importance of the town and college. Well worth the visit.

This is truly a wonderful historic tour of the early beginnings of a small town. It is a completely different perspective on the Underground Railroad and women's acceptance in an academic world. Early settlers had such a great vision for the future. We had a wonderful guide who is very knowledgeable about the beginnings of Oberlin and the surrounding area. This is truly a gem of a find for history buffs!!!!!

The Heritage Center provides guided tours of three home that tell the story of the founding of Oberlin and its pivotal role in US history.

The buildings themselves are interesting although not so special if you've been to lots of historic buildings. What makes OHS special are the stories that are prompted by the buildings and their occupants. This is a nice way to learn something of Oberlin's history.

Full disclosure: I am a resident of Oberlin, but did not go on a tour at the OHS until this year. The staff and volunteers are dedicated to preserving and sharing Oberlin's history in a way that makes it very relevant to the present day. Oberlinians were active in the anti-slavery and temperance movements, operated safe houses during the time of the Underground Railroad, and started one of the first colleges in the US to admit women. OHS is an accredited museum with a very professional and knowledgeable staff -- the presentations are balanced and fascinating. If you are over 21, I highly recommend the history walks that conclude with a visit to a local "watering hole"!

After four years of visiting our son at the college, we finally took the guided walk about The Underground RailroadA wonderful guide. We learned so much about the town and the history we had been surrounded by on all our visits. Very worthwhile.

The Oberlin Heritage Center was a great find. I stumbled upon this center while looking for B&B hotels in Oberlin. My cousin and I went to Oberlin to learn more about our family, and the staff at the Heritage Center were very helpful. We met with them and traded information and photos. The tour of the three historic buildings was very informative. The docent was knowledgeable and friendly. The tour does including a bit of standing, stair-climbing, and walking.

The setting for OHC is one of Oberlin's oldest homes and one of the rooms has recently been redone in the period style, so the dedication to authenticity is evident right from the start. We were a little pressed for time but our knowledgeable docent managed to present Oberlin's history succinctly and interestingly. The Little Red Schoolhouse is adorable, and we loved the fact that third graders are still invited to come take a class in it once a year. Lots of good history books are available for sale but no pressure whatsoever to buy anything.

Thumbs up for a well-planned and effective sharing of art and history!
