Upper Ohio Valley Hall of Fame Museum and Learning Center at the Lou Holtz Hall Of FameEducation

"Great place to go to learn about the history of the town. Neat train layout in the basement level."

"If you want a cheap way to learn about the areas history this is the place to go. They do ask that you give a donation, but if you are running low on funds it's not required. This was actually the second trip I'd made to the Lou Holtz Museum. I can honestly say that I saw things the second time around that I had missed on the first trip. The lady that runs the place is very knowledgeable and is constantly researching and gathering relevant historical information to collectively add to her personal tours. (Which I might add were surprisingly interesting for a person with ADD that has a hard time maintaining focus. Yes, I was referring to myself.) She's also quite willing to open for groups outside of normal operating hours, all you need to do is ask. (She wants to share as much of this information as she can with as many people who are interested.) There are many things hidden inside this bank that was so ornately built to show the wealth of the time. There is a whole room dedicated to a miniature East Liverpool and the trains that run through it. (This is the part my oldest was excited about...) Our host allowed my son to have complete control of the train room and he was in his glory. There's honestly not enough room here or time to to tell you of everything that this museum contains, and to be fair if I tried I would leave too many things out, and not do it justice. To name a few things though, there is a dress there worn by First Lady McKinley, there is a miniature replica of an old river boat that used to travel the Ohio River, there is a bank vault that contains various Pretty Boy Floyd items including his death mask. (A mask made of plaster after he was killed/captured to provide proof that Pretty Boy Floyd was indeed dead and that they'd gotten the right man.) There are several things from the potteries that ran a long the Ohio River, and of course many things of Lou Holtz. We very much enjoyed our trip to the Upper Ohio Valley Hall of Fame and whether you are looking to get a little history lesson of the area or you just want to spend some time with the family this can be a rather interesting choice."

"Best bargain for free family fun and entertainment. Went with grandkids. They got to run the roomful of trains with the remotes. Did a deek and find. Played old fashioned pinball and bowling game. Many should go and give a donation of support."

"It’s a great place to better know and understand the Upper Ohio Valley. Lots of neat exhibits, including an expansive model train set and scenery downstairs."

"Very nice experience... A lot of memorabilia of local icons and legends.. The downstairs is awesome as well."
