About Frostville
Frostville Museum is a living history of 19th century Ohio, located in North Olmsted at the corner of Cedar Point and Lewis Roads in the Cleveland Metroparks Rocky River Reservation. Our goal is to preserve the past and present for the future.
Throughout the year we hold a number of activities. All of our events are family friendly. We encourage you to stop down, enjoy the activities, bring a picnic lunch or buy from our vendors. We offer fun in the outdoors and a chance to experience our history. Check the Events tab for a printable version of the year's upcoming events.
Frostville Village Church may be rented for weddings. Contact Cindy Lentz at 440.476.5552 for contract information or by email at: Frostvillecindy@gmail.com. Please copy and paste the email address into your email.
Our Heritage
Records from our archives show that the Olmsted Historical Society was founded in May of 1953. The society incorporated as a non-profit association in 1961.
Our Facilities
The museum consists of six historic buildings maintained and run by the Olmsted Historical Society. These buildings include: Prechtel House (the only home original to this site), Jenkins Cabin, Briggs House, Carpenter House, Stearns Carriage House, and Frostville Village Church. The Gifford General Store, Strelau Events Barn, and Wensink Display Barn are also a part of the village. In 2016, the society moved the Thompson House to Frostville Museum. This building and a school house will soon be a part of our museum.
Our Staff
The Olmsted Historical Society, which manages Frostville Museum, has over 180 members, many of whom contribute time, labor and craftsmanship to the preservation of the grounds and facilities. During planned events, many members dress in period attire giving the feel of the 1800s.
