A small, under-visited museum that tells the real story of the French 500 settlers who founded Gallipolis — the kind of place a local, not a guidebook, sends you.
What to expect
A docent walks you through original artifacts, art, and the story of the 1790 French settlers who gave the town its name and its unusual Franco-American character, in a 19th-century building right downtown.
Good to know
Open limited days/hours — call ahead to arrange the private docent walkthrough; pairs well with a stroll down Second Avenue afterward.
Sail there
Luxury cruises that call at Gallipolis — book through us, the fare is identical and your concierge stays on your side.
