Dublin (Ohio) Historical Society

Dublin (Ohio) Historical Society The Fletcher Coffman Homestead in Dublin, typifies American farm life of the 1800s.

Formed in 1974, the Dublin Historical Society is an all-volunteer organization committed to preserving, archiving, and displaying materials connected to Dublin’s past to encourage the study of and appreciation of its history. The Civil War era brick house and adjoining farm buildings are a testimonial to the hard working people who constituted the second generation of Ohio pioneer families. Built

between the years 1862 and 1867, this simple two-story house has been restored to interpret the lifestyle and tastes of a middle class farm family of that era. It is furnished with original Coffman family furniture and pieces which belonged to other Dublin families from that time. The 19th century barn contains agricultural tools and equipment of the period. The Dublin Garden Club helped to renovate the grounds with plantings authentic to the period. Additionally, visitors can see an heirloom vegetable garden on the Homestead currently tended by volunteers from City of Dublin's staff and members of the Dublin Historical Society. Along the gate to this garden also stand 2 apple trees that were sprigs cut from the last remaining apple tree in Ohio that was planted by Johnny Appleseed. Visitors will not only enjoy the refurbished Coffman House, but visitors to the one-room school exhibit inside the former "corn crib" can sit on benches and write on slate with chalk, view textbooks and toys of the 1800s and early 1900s, see a map where locations of one-room schools once stood (and still stand) in Washington Township, and meet a local schoolmarm dressed in period costume! The Homestead is part of Dublin's Coffman Park complex and is located next to the Dublin Municipal Building (City Hall), 5300 Emerald Parkway. Parking is available in the City Hall parking lot or adjacent spaces for Coffman Park.
