Our story
Keeping Geauga County's history alive
Century Village Museum is the home of the Geauga County Historical Society, an independent, community-supported nonprofit dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich heritage of our region.
Our mission
A village built to remember
For generations, the Geauga County Historical Society has gathered and protected the buildings, artifacts, and stories that define our corner of Ohio. Today, Century Village brings that history to life, a place where visitors can walk among authentic structures and step directly into the past.
As a registered nonprofit and a working farm, we are sustained not by government funding but by the events, memberships, and donations of people who believe the past is worth preserving.
