Visitor Education Center
The stories of Ohio courts and the men and women who shaped them unfold in the Visitor Education Center.
Interactive exhibits, bold graphics and video clips convey the role of courts, illustrating important cases and issues. Visitors are introduced to an array of characters and narratives – from Hugo Zacchini, the human cannonball, to Florence Allen, the judicial trailblazer.
The center features:
- Three courtroom settings where visitors are decision makers as they participate in trial proceedings
- An interactive scale inviting visitors to balance the three branches of government
- A video titled, "A Day in the Life of the Supreme Court of Ohio"
Special exhibits highlight Careers in Law and the Tuskegee Airmen.
Staff and volunteer guides play an important role in leading school tours. The guides engage the students throughout the experience, leading activities and answering questions.
