About the museum
More Than 5,000 Pieces of Knox County History
While it is difficult to imagine how the early settlers lived, we have captured the flavor of life over the past 200 years through tools and household items used by our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents.
Located on the fairgrounds in Mount Vernon, Ohio, the Knox County Agricultural Museum encompasses nearly 20,000 square feet across the main building and several historic outbuildings.
