The museum is the oldest museum in Richland County founded in 1889.  The museum is a step back in time to the late 1800's.  Artifacts on 2 floors of displays span from Roman to modern times.  The museum houses many collections from early Native American, African, Asian, miliary, and natural history.  A display of nearly 600 planes showing the history of aviation is on display. 

 The Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Building that houses the museum is an architectural wonder unchanged since the building opened in 1889.  We are the permanent home of ELEKTRO, the Westinghouse robot built for the 1939 New York World's Fair.  The exhibit for Mansfield's 200th Birthday opening in February is "Mansfield Nightlife and Entertainment", highlighting the contributions in theatre, music and entertainment throughout the citiies history.  Included in this exhibit will be original recordings of Mansfield's Bands from the 30's-60's.  An exhibit you will not want to miss.
