Featured exhibits

9/11 Remembrance Exhibit presented by Motts Military Museum
The Motts Military Museum, located in Groveport, is home to the country’s second largest collection of artifacts from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. In recognition of the 20th anniversary of the day that changed our lives forever, the Museum will display some of these rare artifacts at the Fall Home & Garden Show in a temporary 9/11 Remembrance Exhibit. This exhibit, including a NYC Port Authority Police vehicle salvaged from Ground Zero, will commemorate both the utter devastation and incredible heroism of that fateful day. We will never forget.
