The Sherman House Museum Gardens are small, but completely documented and historically accurate.
The Kitchen Garden
Located right outside the kitchen door, it is filled with the herbs Mrs. Sherman would have used for cooking and other kitchen jobs.
The Medicinal Garden
This is where she would have grown her own medicines, dyes and household care products. Visitors will find foxglove or digitalis used for heart trouble and lemon balm used for furniture polish and hair rinse, as well as several others.
The Native Plants of Ohio Garden
This garden features plants that the first settlers would have seen upon entering the area. They told these pioneers that the ground was good for farming. Fields of lush vegetation earned the county its name, “fair fields.”
