The Arms Family Museum of Local History

002
  The first floor of the house has been left almost exactly the way it was when Olive Arms was alive. Olive was the sixth daughter of a wealthy Youngstown iron manufacturer. She was also an artist and she designed the house, some of the furnishings, and many of the details such as hardware, lighting, and finishes in the Arts and Crafts style. The second floor has a brief history of Youngstown and displays about how the house was designed. The basement is a hands-on area for kids covering frontier life and immigrating to the US.

  The museum is all accessible. A small elevator accesses the second floor and the basement. The first floor has two short ramps because one room is slightly sunken.

The parking lot is large enough for RV parked lengthwise across the spaces.  Museum
