Meigs County Museum

 The Meigs County Pioneer and Historical Society was organized in 1876 and has held an annual meeting every year since. Throughout the years talk was of a place to preserve the history and relics of the past.  In 1971, property was purchased at 144 Butternut Avenue, Pomeroy, Ohio and the Meigs County Museum became a reality.   The Meigs County Museum, owned and operated by the Meigs County Historical Society, houses the Historical Society library, as well as the Meigs County Genealogical Society library.
