The Cleveland History Center, operated by the Western Reserve Historical Society for over 150 years, showcases the narrative of Northeast Ohio through engaging exhibits. You’ll find artifacts ranging from the earliest maps of Cleveland to memorabilia like LeBron James’ championship shoes, covering the city’s evolution from 1796 to the present.
Within the centre, enjoy a ride on the restored Euclid Beach Park Grand Carousel, explore two historic mansions, and delve into the automotive legacy at the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum. The Chisholm Halle Costume Wing highlights Cleveland's notable fashion history, particularly its connection to plaid. Allocate a couple of hours to fully appreciate the breadth of exhibitions offered.

The day was enjoyable and informative. The live carousel ride added to the experience. The price was reasonable, although not all the mansions are fully accessible to the public. Street parking is available for a fee.
For anyone with an appreciation for cars, this collection is essential. The Crawford's regularly updated exhibit features unique vehicles not found in other museums, many presented in realistic settings along with interactive displays. It also highlights Cleveland's history as an auto manufacturing hub, showcasing cars built in the area, so don't miss the Jordan car exhibits. Though the aviation section is smaller, it is still very educational. After exploring the cars and planes, you can also visit the two mansions on the property. I highly recommend the guided mansion tour (included in the admission price) for exclusive insights not available on the self-guided tour. Conclude your visit with a ride on the beautifully restored Euclid Beach carousel, which is also included with your admission to the Cleveland History Center.
The museum offers a worthwhile experience highlighting Cleveland's history, with exhibits featuring classic cars, motorcycles, and antique home furnishings. We also enjoyed a ride on the functioning carousel available for visitors.
I was unable to attend due to reasons beyond my control, and when I attempted to request a refund, I found that it was not an option.
We had a great time exploring the history of Cleveland, particularly the mansion tour and the carousel ride.
I explored the Crawford Auto Aviation Museum at the Cleveland History Center, which has seen significant upgrades in recent years compared to its state two decades ago. The museum features a commendable display of automobiles produced in Cleveland, along with others from different locations. I found the collection of stainless steel cars intriguing as well. The aviation section has a gondola from the Goodyear blimp, which captured my interest. Additionally, the operational Euclid Beach Park Grand Carousel is housed here. Overall, it's an impressive transportation museum.
Our experience at the museum could have been improved if all exhibits were accessible. We were only able to view the cars and the presentation on women's rights, and it was disappointing that the mansion and carousel were closed.
I had no idea what to anticipate, but we truly had a great time. The indoor carousel exceeded our expectations! I would highly recommend this to others.
The staff was incredibly helpful, friendly, and passionate about their work. I had a wonderful experience that was both educational and enjoyable.
I thought this would be a tiny museum, but it turned out to be quite spacious. There are numerous items to examine and discover. My daughter and I loved looking at all the vehicles and exhibits. It was a wonderful museum to explore.
