Museum at the Friends Home

Waynesville, Ohio 45068

The 1905 Friends Boarding Home was built by Quakers as a home for retired Quakers. Young teachers also lived in the home. It had indoor plumbing and electricity even at an early time. For $3.50 a week, boarders received room and board, meals and laundry. The building accommodated over 20 boarders and offered a dining area. The building is haunted by a young child who has been heard giggling and running through the rooms. She also rocks chairs and is attached to one of the dolls kept in the museum. The museum also offers ghost tours of Waynesville: 513.897.1607
