About 103rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry Civil War Museum

Run by the 103rd O.V.I. Memorial Foundation, this museum occupies a former regimental barracks that members of the unit built and that was nicknamed ELFORDILNO. The group describes itself as the oldest Civil War organization made up of direct descendants that still meets every year. Its purpose is to keep alive the actions and service of the men who fought with the 103rd. Visitors can browse photos covering the regiment's past and the grounds today. The organization also hosts four pancake breakfasts a year and accepts donations through PayPal.
