Advertising Art of Coshocton
​September 23rd - December 31st

Picture
The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum is honoring Coshocton’s advertising art history in a special exhibit, Advertising Art of Coshocton, opening September 23rd to December 31st. The exhibit features specialty-advertising items made in Coshocton from the 1890s through the 1950s.

The city of Coshocton was for many years the nation’s leading manufacturer of advertising art, shipping products worldwide. Lithographs on tin and paper, signs of every description, trays, calendars and celluloid novelties advertised every kind of business, particularly breweries, soft drink manufacturers, ice cream factories, tobacco companies, and distilleries. Considered the birth-place of advertising art, Coshocton was once second only to New York City in the number of artists residing in our town compared to the rest of the country.

In 2022, The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum Achieved Accreditation From The ​American Alliance of Museums

“I am excited to announce JHM has again achieved Accreditation by the American Alliance of Museums, the highest national recognition afforded the nation’s museums. Accreditation signifies excellence to the museum community, to governments, funders, outside agencies, and to the museum-going public. JHM was initially accredited in 1973. All museums must undergo a re-accreditation review at least every 10 years to maintain accredited status. Of the nation’s estimated 33,000 museums, only 1096 are currently accredited and JHM is one of only 41 museums accredited in Ohio. Thank you to all our partners, board members and everyone that supports the museum for making our reaccreditation a success!”
-Jennifer Bush, Director JHM
