Hell & Homefront: Civil War through Fulton County Eyes" is a 5-year project during the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. This experience is sponsored by the Fulton County Historical Society and will run from April 2011 through December 2015.

The Fulton County Historical Society's 2011 exhibit features the history of the first year of the Civil War, 1861, and it's local connections.

Many other Ohio communities are also participating in the historical event, offering their own exhibits honoring the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. For more information on these and more, please go to: www.ohiocivilwar150.com

Fulton County Museum Today
The Fulton County Historical Museum is housed in an 1868 Romanesque Revival two-story brick building rich in Fulton County history. The building served as Wauseon's first High School until 1897. In the middle of the 1896-1897 school year, the building had to be condemned because the foundation was sinking. In 1898 the former High School was renovated into a duplex and the Victorian porch was added. In 1903 the Fulton County medical association bought the former High school and from about 1905 until 1930 the building served as Fulton County 's first hospital. In 1945 the former hospital was converted into four apartments. In 1969 the building was donated to the Fulton County Historical Society. Today there are sixteen rooms housing a permanent collection and changing exhibits.
