Fort museum opens for season July 1

Taking Note

The Fort Recovery State Museum will open for the 2020 Season on Wednesday.

It will be open from noon to 5 p.m. every day during July and August. In September, the museum will only be open on Saturdays, Sundays and Labor Day.

Fort Recovery Museum will be following guidelines provided by the Ohio Department of Health. From noon to 1 p.m. each day will be designated as elderly and health challenged visitor time. During this hour each day, masks are required to be worn.

The rest of the time, masks are recommended but not required. Visitors are asked to maintain six feet of distance from other visitors, unless they are part of a family group.

A few of the adaptations that have been made to accommodate the ODH safety procedures include canceling the yearly speaker series which had been set and advertised for 2020, removing the children’s dress-up/play area and limiting the number of visitors permitted in each room at a time.

Group tours will be generally discouraged. Museum personnel and volunteers will be deep cleaning the museum each day and will do intermittent cleaning throughout visitor hours. Hand washing with soap in the restrooms will be encouraged, and hand sanitizer will be on hand at the admission counter.

Admission to the Fort Recovery Museum is $5 for adults and $2 for children 6-12. Call (419) 375-4384 for more information.
