Overview
Mission
To cultivate appreciation of nineteenth century rural and small-town life in the Oxford, Ohio, region and promote an understanding of area history through education, public programs and preservation of historical sites.
What it reported doing in 2024
Tours of the historic Doty Homestead house and barn (mid-1800s) and DeWitt log cabin (early 1800s): Interns give weekend daily tours of these properties and explain the origin and use of various artifacts and provide demonstrations of selected artifacts at these three sites. For example, interns will demonstrate the use of a loom or explain how to use a corn sheller and letting attendees try it for themselves. Most artifacts have a explanatory sign to allow visitors to tour the house and/or barn on their own. The attendance at these weekly tours varies because of the weather. The average is about 55 per weekend.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 92% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
