They allow us to continue to care for our large collection of historical artifacts and archival materials that tell the story of Medina County and to care for our museums; The John Smart House Museum and now the McDowell-Phillips House Museum.

GREAT NEWS!The McDowell-Phillips House is now on the National Register of Historic sites! This is a special recognition. Joann King worked on documenting the house and rooms for several months to submit to the state and federal agencies. Several years later… a beautiful plaque on a grand house. Thank you for your continued support.
