Schools in Lancaster, OH

“Redeemer is a wonderful place to work. The staff treats you like family, and are all very close. I immediately felt at home here, and look forward to coming to work.”

“Oh my goodness, the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio is a local treasure. I'm so happy I stumbled upon this place when visiting Lancaster.First of all: It's free! Admission is $0. Which is really cool, because that means that this awesome place is accessible to so many people. This museum is three floors of rotating exhibits. On the basement level, we walked through an exhibit dedicated to Highlights Magazine. As a magazine editor and lover of Highlights since I was about 6 years old, this exhibit delighted me immensely. I found out that the Highlights Magazine headquarters is actually in Columbus, Ohio -- not too far from Lancaster! How cool is that? The first level and second floor of the museum were exhibits dedicated to local book authors and illustrators, and an exhibit of Brady Bunch movie costumes, because one of Lancaster's own former residents is a Hollywood costume designer. This museum is so random in a very neat way. The docents at the museum are so nice. I don't even enjoy talking to people generally, but I had a lovely 20-minute conversation with one of the people who works here that I quite enjoyed -- we talked about everything from chickens to the weather. Then I talked to more docents on other floors about the exhibits, and they were very friendly and knowledgeable about the things in the exhibits. There's also a gift shop in this museum with lots of fun local products and things like candles, books and knickknacks that pertain to the current exhibits.Basically: This is definitely a must-visit spot if you're in Lancaster! It's the perfect place to visit that will have something for all ages (my kids had a great time), and you can learn a bit about local Ohio history.”
