One of the gems of Zanesville. Lots of great history and displays.
Oldest home in Zanesville. Built in 1805
Great place to visit
Dr. Increase Mathews built a stone cottage in 1805 that still remains intact today. It is a museum owned and run by the Pioneer and Historical Society of Muskingum County. The cottage has been expanded several times and today is three stories high. The museum hosts articles from Dr. Mathews family, John McIntire family, the Buckingham Family and other prominent families in the Putnam area. Putnam was a center of anti-slavery activity in the 1820-1860 time period. Several local homes have hidden rooms where runaway slaves were hidden. Much of the neighborhood was involved in the Underground Railroad. The Stone Academy, a block away was the location where the Ohio Anti-Slavery Society met and wrote their Constitution in 1836. Dr. Increase Mathews and most of his neighbors were from Massachusetts and felt slavery was morally wrong.
Very good place for history buffs
