we went here after we had finished seeing the Christmas exhibit at the decorative arts center next door....greeted at the door by one of the docents who was dressed in an 1860's period hoop skirt costume who invited us in to see on e of the trees in the parlor, which was decorated in civil war era items.. one of the other docents was giving a presentation of the Christmas story "the night before Christmas" up until this was story written, santa claus did not have a beard...didn't have reindeer, and certainly didn't come down the chimney....afterwards, we went to the dining room, where another tree was decorated, and the volunteers were describing the decorations on the tree...silhouetted cut outs of the members of the Sherman family... 1850-60's trees were were modestly decorated... treat for Christmas would have been dried fruits and candy, maybe a few toys.... the next room showed what civil war soldiers would have asked for and gotten for Christmas...a companion exhibit showed what current troops request in their "care" boxes...very similar items, with the obvious exceptions being batteries, cd's, sim cards, etc....they still want candy, cookies, typical necessities.. it was a very enjoyable night....glad we went

I enjoyed my time at the Sherman House. The staff was most helpful and very knowable. This is an important historic site.

Personable tour guide with a lot of interesting information, not only about General Sherman but about the Sherman family in general. Worth a visit.

We had never visited the Sherman House until last week. The road construction is done now so it is easy to get to. The best part about the tour is the personal guide that takes you around the house and answers all the questions that your group might have.

another historical attraction in Lancaster, this was the boyhood home of William Tecumseh Sherman....hero of the north, scourge of the south....the first floor has many period furnishings, along with a gift shop and some WTS memorabilia...2nd floor is furnished as one would expect with trundle beds, an actual civil war camp tent, and a large array of more Sherman memorabilia....civil war or history buffs would be well advised to take a tour of this place, and learn more about Sherman the man, as well as the other members of the Sherman family... after the civil war, Sherman was the general of the army (4 star general).... while many in the south, and Charleston in particular may rankle at the sound of the Sherman name, he used his men and resources effectively, making the cost of waging war particularly high...the destruction of charleston might be construed by some as payback for its role in starting the war by the firing of the opening shots against fort sumter...

During a recent trip to visit family in Central Ohio, I visited the Sherman House Museum in Lancaster, a suburb southwest of Columbus. I live in Charleston, South Carolina, so my standard for historical home tours is very high. Still, without exaggeration the Sherman House tour was the best I have ever taken of an historical home within the USA or abroad. The tour guide was entertaining and informative, and consequently I learned a lot about General William Tecumseh Sherman, his family, and the material culture and social practices of the 19th century. The guide, as well as the other staff, were also quite friendly. And they were exceptionally adept at capturing and keeping the attention of the children who were taking the tour while I was there. If you get the chance, don't pass up visiting this gem! Well worth investing an hour or two and the small cost of admission.

Recently we took four grandsons (ages 7-11) to the home of Gen. William T. Sherman in Lancaster, Ohio. What a wonderful surprise for us! The guide was very knowledgeable and was skilled in involving young boys in learning and enjoying history. The home is filled with Civil War period antiques, many from the Sherman family. We grandparents were particularly interested in the furniture and ladies handiwork while the boys were facinated with the kitchen tools and the military-related items. Upstairs is the Sherman museum featuring Gen. W.T. Sherman and his father, Judge Sherman. The museum was very much the hit of the trip for the boys and grandparents. The Civil War period guns, pictures, and awards kept our interest as we walked from display to display. We all learned a lot about Gen. Sherman and the Civil War period. There is also a small gift shop downstairs that contained some items of interest that were within the limited travel budget for our boys. This "field trip" was a very pleasant surprise for all of us.

What a gem! John Dye was an excellent tour guide - it was just the two of us and he spent so much time explaining everything. He really knows the history of the General - and the area. What a pleasure.

The guides are very informative. I learned a lot about the entire Sherman family, and the local history of Lancaster Ohio. They have a lot of antique furniture and objects. It was a great peek into life during an earlier historical era.
