Save the Greater Buckeye Lake Historical Society and Museum
On February 13, 2025, we learned that our museum has been closed and listed for sale with a realtor. We are saddened that another link to the area’s history may be disappearing. Over the years, we have seen more and more of our early days disappear from our community. Remaining in the village is the historic oldest standing structure - the Holtsberry log cabin, along with the beautiful fountain at North Shore Park that once served as the centerpiece of the midway of the Buckeye Lake Amusement Park! Hundreds of artifacts have been donated to the museum over the years and we are in danger of them being separated and possibly sold. Several years ago, a group of people dedicated their hard work and money to build the museum. Many have served and left the Board of Directors. We feel that it is very important to save our history and to let the residents of the Buckeye Lake area know that the museum has been placed for sale without public notice or discussion with the community. There is wide interest in saving the museum and it is our hope that many will join us in support.
“Save the Greater Buckeye Lake Historical Society and Museum!”
