Heritage Center
The Reynoldsburg-Truro Historical Society House is open to the public. The house was moved in autumn 1993 to its present location at Jackson and Broadwyn in the center of Olde Reynoldsburg. A mid-nineteenth-century farmhouse that once faced State Route 256 at Livingston Avenue; this is half of the original house believed to have been built between 1848 and 1850. (The other half, curiously enough, was moved early in this century and now stands a block away. The two halves are back to back.) The house is refurbished, and used as a museum, learning center and meeting place.
The house is sited on a small hill, beautifully landscaped. The interior has hardwood floors and woodwork of interesting design. For half a house it is quite roomy, with three bedrooms, two baths, and a living room, parlor with a small fireplace, kitchen, and dining room, plus a spacious modern-day addition. Off the kitchen are the stile stairs, one set going to the upstairs, the other leading to the basement. The basement contains a large meeting room, kitchen, handicap accessible restrooms and offices. Its many years of continual occupancy have given this house a light, airy, pleasant and happy feeling.
