Description

Join us on December 18th at 6:30 PM for a unique conversation with Rachel Yoder, author of the critically acclaimed novel Nightbitch (Doubleday, 2021), now a major motion picture starring Amy Adams. Yoder, who grew up in Coshocton County and worked at JHM as a teenager, will join us via Zoom for a special exploration of her novel's themes. We'll highlight Native American and Asian artifacts from our collection, using them to delve into origin and transformation stories from various cultures. How do these stories, like that of a woman transforming into a dog in Nightbitch, influence our view of humanity? Join us in the Special Exhibit Gallery to find out if animal stories, ancient and modern, can help us be better humans.

The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum

The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum opened to the public on May 8, 1931. Its collections originate from a bequest by Coshocton natives David M. and John H. Johnson to the city of Coshocton as a memorial to their Johnson and Humrickhouse ancestors. These native-born brothers settled on the West Coast and traveled abroad where they collected American Indian, European, and Asian artifacts. Their primary collections consisted of American Indian baskets and beadwork; Asian fine and decorative arts and weaponry; and European and American ceramics, glassware, and textiles. JHM's collections have grown through donations, primarily in areas of local history and pre-historic Ohio Indian tools and points.

 

Our mission is to inspire creativity, the love of learning, and an appreciation of diverse cultures and local heritage. Towards this end, the museum preserves and interprets its cross-cultural collections and presents complementary exhibits and programs.
