American Heritage Museum

The American Heritage Museum is a unique feature located in Appalachian Ohio. The museum is a multi-building complex that focus on the military and farming heritage of the people of Appalachian Ohio.


Founded in 2000 that by veteran Captain Fred Muesegaes and his family, the museum is a phenomenal experience for visitors of all ages. Muesegaes grew up hearing stories from his grandparents, parents, and neighbors about the history of the area and the defense and cost of freedom. Muesegaes ended up joining the military and flew several missions throughout the Vietnam and Cold War, most notably as the pilot who documented and captured the photographs of the missiles in Cuba.


The American Heritage Museum has a collection of military vehicles, farming equipment, and a host of memorabilia and models.


Through the HEART of Appalachian Ohio Project the American Heritage Museum will be developed to include training programs for veterans and a place for them to gather work on and repair equipment as well as their souls and mental health. The old family barn will be converted to a museum highlighting the equipment of the industry. Furthermore, a small trail will be added to the property with pollinator fields that will serve on the Appalachian Ohio Pollinator Trail.
