Connect with local history and climb aboard a vintage Cessna (outfitted like the one flown by Ohio’s own Jerrie Mock—first woman to fly solo around the world) and then try your skills at a flight simulator. Also, imagine life in an earlier era at a restored Interurban Railway Car and Ohio and Erie Canal Lock.
Fire up your imagination as you view the work of regional and national artists in The Works gallery. Plan your discovery today.
The Works: Ohio Center for History, Art & Technology is central Ohio’s best destination to experience hands-on family fun with history, art, science, and glassblowing. Hands-on exploration is what The Works is all about. Learn science through doing in The Works discovery stations. Build a race car and race it in the Go Lab. Take apart a computer and build something new in the Invent Lab. Meet a 13,000-year-old mastodon and discover his fate in the History Exhibits or try your hand with a flight simulator and learn about Jerrie Mock, Newark native and the first woman to fly solo around the world. And, The Works has a special lab just for those six and younger. Stop by a daily glassblowing demonstration, or pre-register to make your own glass with help from a professional glass artist. The Works is easy to get to – only 35 minutes from Easton Town Center.
