We have been serving Upper Sandusky and the surrounding area for over 100 years, beginning in 1912 when the USANDO Literary Club donated $25 to a fledgling library fund. As our town has grown and changed over the years, so has USCL. USCL offers programs and events for all ages throughout the year, and we welcome you to join in the activities or stop by to see our growing collection of items available for patrons to check out.

The museum, a historic home built in 1853 for Isaac Beery and his wife, Leefe Fowler, was donated to the Wyandot County Historical Society by their grandson, former Sears, Roebuck & Co. President and C.E.O. Fowler Beery McConnell, and his wife, Lucille in June 1962. Decorated to illustrate the late 1800s, it holds many artifacts and documents relating to the history of Wyandot County, its inhabitants, businesses, famous residents, and the Wyandotte Nations citizens. The property also includes the one-room Maple Grove Schoolhouse, Outhouse, and Pennsylvania Railroad Shack.

Colonel Joseph McCutchen built the Overland Inn, located in McCutchenville, Ohio, in 1829. The structure served as a stagecoach stop, hotel and an apartment building. It was purchased by the Wyandot County Archaeological and Historical Society in 1964, restored to its stagecoach era appearance and dedicated in 1967. Located along SR 53 (formerly the Plank Road or Harrison Trail), it is one of only two stagecoach inns remaining in their original location in the state of Ohio. It is furnished with antiques donated by Wyandot County residents and retains the original reception and bar room where travelers such as Charles Dickens and General William Henry Harrison visited.
