The Andrew L. Tuttle Memorial Museum is dedicated to preserving the history of the City of Defiance & the surrounding area. Andrew L. Tuttle, a lifelong resident of Defiance,
Ohio bequeathed his extensive collection of Native American artifacts, coins, documents, stamps, military memorabilia, and other artifacts to the city of Defiance with the stipulation a museum would be established in his name. The Tuttle, as the museum has been nicknamed, officially opened to the public in May 2011. The exhibits change regularly so there’s always something new to see.

Originated in 1966, the red barn, now the Mansfield Museum, was the only building on this site. Over 50 years later, take step back into the past and stroll through the 22 restored buildings, 4 farm museums, military museum, natural history museum, model railroad museum, operating sawmill, and railroad train rides that encircle the Village.
