Ariel Theatre
Restored Opera House
Category: Gallipolis Theatre in Ohio
User Rating: 
Description of this Gallipolis Activity: The Ariel Theatre is a rare old opera house, built in 1895. A snap of the fingers confirm the hall's bell-clear acoustical quality, which, in its pre-electronic age of construction depended on materials, design and contractor know-how. A beaten path called "the circuit", brought performers such as Will Rogers, Cecil B. deMille, Sarah, Sarah Bernhardt and "Dixie" composer, Daniel Decatur(Old Dan)Emmett, to the stage. Gradually live shows gave way to moving pictures. However, in 1963, the last movie was shown and the doors closed. For nearly 25 years, resident pigwons, a leaky roof and chronic neglect took their toll. Then, a visit from a local professional musician noted that, despite the mess, Ariel's acoustical quality still rang true and the Ariel's restoration began.

The Ritz Theatre in Tiffin
Resorted theatre originally built in 1928
Category: Tiffin Theatre in Ohio
User Rating: Be the first to write a review for The Ritz Theatre in Tiffin!
Description of this Tiffin Activity: The quaint farming community of Tiffin, Ohio is home to one of the area’s true treasures. Billed as Tiffin’s “Quarter of a Million Dollar Movie Palace,” The Ritz Theatre was built in1928. This Italian Renaissance theatre was designed by Peter M. Hulsken under the direction of local owners, Dan Kerwin and Adam Ritzler (after whom the theatre was named). The vaudeville movie palace saw the end of vaudeville, glowed under the movie boom of the 40s and weathered troubled times in the 70s. After a group of concerned citizens bought the theatre in 1981, the theatre was reborn.
Amazingly, over the years the theatre’s interior had not been changed from its original form, but a major renovation was needed. In November of 1996 with a $4.3 million capital campaign, the renovation was under way. In February of 1998, The Ritz Theatre reopened and today is one of the premier historic theatres in the country.
As a non-profit organization, our mission is to entertain and enrich people by providing an historic center for creative expression, education, social interaction, and community development. We hope to communicate and promote an appreciation of theatre and a greater understanding of our heritage and culture through a diversity of programs designed to benefit the people of Northwest Ohio.
Tours available by appointment. Please call the box office. For more historical information please visit www.ritztheatre.org/history.html.

Campus Martius Museum
Ohio Historical Society Museum
Category: Marietta Aquarium in Ohio
User Rating: Be the first to write a review for Campus Martius Museum!
Description of this Ohio Attraction: The Campus Martius Museum highlights migration in Ohio's history. The museum is on the site of the first organized American settlement in the Northwest Territory. Founded by the Ohio Company of Associates in 1788, Campus Martius was a fort that served as home for some of the pioneers while they established Marietta. The restored Rufus Putnam house, part of the original fort, is now enclosed within a wing of the museum. Behind the museum is the Ohio Company's Land Office.
Exhibits on the main floor of the museum pertain to this early settlement and contain many of the original pioneer artifacts. They explore the prehistoric Indian populations that occupied this area and relations with the historic Indians as the white settlers moved in. These exhibits also deal with the organization of the Ohio Company of Associates, surveying of the land, early government in the old Northwest Territory, and life in eighteenth century Marietta. A separate area exhibits a variety of material from the Marietta area down through the years, from items of household furnishings, to toys, to tools, to fire prevention equipment.
The focus of the exhibit Paradise Found and Lost: Migration in the Ohio Valley, 1850-1970 goes beyond Ohio's early settlement. It explores two later waves of migration that shaped the state's history: the movement of many rural Ohioans to cities between 1850 and 1910, and the influx of Appalachians from Kentucky and West Virginia into Ohio's indutrial centers such as Dayton and Akron between 1910 and 1970.
The exhibit includes 90 objects from OHS collections, ranging from an early mechanized seed drill to a jacket worn during performances by contemporary country music singer Dwight Yoakam, the son of Appalachian emmigrants. In addition to artifacts, exhibits contain audio accounts taken from diaries and journals kept by these people on the move, video views of factory and city life, and interactive computer programs showing migration patterns and Ohio's economic development.
A changing exhibit gallery presents temporary exhibits on various topics pertaining to the overall museum theme throughout the course of the year. Please call for the latest scheduled exhibits or look at the Society's calendar.
A classroom allows OHS educators to present workshops as well as to conduct distance learning sessions for Ohio school classrooms through computer networks such as Ohio SchoolNet.
