The Southeast Ohio History Center has a rotating exhibit floor, so there is always something new to explore. We are dedicated to sharing the stories of the Southeast Ohio region, and we are excited to share our current exhibit with you.
Southeast Ohio A to Z explores the unique attributes of our region through the letters of the alphabet! This two-part exhibit will be in the Great Hall starting in April 2023, with companion exhibits in the gallery.
Paige Musselman is from here in Athens County. As a native to the region she shares SOHC’s vision of preserving and sharing Southeast Ohio’s natural and cultural heritage. Her early years were deeply influenced by her love of the woods on her family’s property, and she spent a lot of time foraging, collecting buckeyes, and loving the place she still calls home.
Paige has a Bachelor’s degree in Classical Civilization with a focus on archaeology, as well as a certification in Museum Studies. After graduating from Ohio University, Paige traveled to Italy and worked hands-on in many archaeological sites and completed similar work in Arizona more recently. She took the helm as Curator of Collections in late 2021 and has been hard at work ever since.
