In 2001 Historic Perrysburg, Inc. encouraged and sponsored the creation of a group to investigate the formation of an area history museum. This was a cherished goal of board member Phyllis Morton, who spearheaded the formation of a group of interested citizens that eventually created the Perrysburg Area Historic Museum Inc. in 2002. After 5 years of renovation, the museum finally opened its doors on a pleasant sunny afternoon, June 28, 2014. State, County, and many local government representatives welcomed the opening, pledging support and citing its historical significance. Board members, as well as many other citizens, have contributed many interesting items of historical interest, saving them from becoming lost or simply relegated to the dustbin of history.
