The Hancock Historical Museum was founded in 1970 by five Findlay business and professional men (Ed Heminger, James Brucklacher, Joe Opperman, Jack Harrington, and Harold Corbin) who had an interest in local history.
The museum was created to preserve artifacts related to local history and to provide a place to display and enjoy them. The group purchased the Hull-Flater House, a Victorian-era home built by Jasper and Mary Monette Hull at 422 West Sandusky St. in Findlay, for a museum.
The Hancock Historical Museum completed a major expansion and restoration project at the museum complex in June 2001. The expansion provides many rooms for social functions or meetings. Rooms are available for rent. Call the museum for details.
