Wyandot County Museum

The prison woodshop scenes were filmed here instead of at the reformatory in Mansfield. It included the prison wood shop scene where Red and his fellow inmates hear The Marriage of Figaro. The building and the site is now dedicated as a museum to the filming of Shawshank redemption. Since the end of filming the owners have acquired and put together props from the movie such as prison uniforms, the bus used to transport Andy to prison and the ambulance that took Bogs (Mark Rolston) out to an infirmary in another prison as exhibits. Other props such as the pipe and the cast of the tunnel behind the wall in which Andy crawled through to escape are at the Mansfield Reformatory in Mansfield. The woodshop can be rented for weddings, graduation parties, class reunions, birthday parties, company holiday parties or some other private gathering. Click here for their Facebook page.

The historic courthouse attracts many visitors and is considered a unique structure for its style and the interior paintings. These paintings adorn the foyer with a three flight marble staircase in the middle. The courtroom on the third floor was used in the movie, "The Shawshank Redemption" where the main character, Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), stood trial in and was convicted for the murders of his wife and her lover. The building still functions as a courthouse but the courtroom where Andy stood trial can be open for viewing if court is not in session inside. Call ahead to be sure, otherwise one can still walk around the hallways to marvel at the architecture.

The Wyandot Mission Church, located on East Church Street in the Old Mission Cemetery, is the first officially recognized mission of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America. Many of the Wyandot people from the Grand Reservation worshipped there until the U.S. Government ordered their relocation to Kansas in 1843. The church was built in 1824 under the direction of Reverend James B. Finley, restored in 1889 and registered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1976

The current structure, built in 1861, replaced an earlier grist-mill from 1820, which had been built by U.S. government for the local Wyandot people in gratitude for their support during the War of 1812. The mill operated until its closure in 1941. It is owned by the Ohio History Connection, and was cleaned, restored and reopened for visitors in 1968. It contains a milling museum, complete with the original milling machinery, stone burrs and other artifacts. The surrounding grounds make up Indian Mill Park.
