What is the Massillon Museum?

The Massillon Museum is an art and history museum in Massillon, Ohio. It has over 100,000 items in its collection. It changes exhibitions several times a year, and boasts 3 floors of art and history exhibitions, along with classroom and meeting space.

Museum Admission & Tours

Admission to the Museum is FREE and tours with museum staff or docents are also FREE. Group visits and guided tours must be booked in advance, to ensure availability.

Scout Badge & Advancement Programs

The Museum is a “one stop shop” for earning badges and other advancement programs for all ages of girls and boys in the Scouts. Our programs will meet most, or all of, your requirements. Programs last from 1-2 ½ hours, depending on the size of the group and activities, and may include guided tours, lectures, multi-media presentations, object handling, arts and crafts.

Troop leaders will be provided with a detailed curriculum for the advancement program based on the official Scout requirements. We may ask your group to do a little homework beforehand or to bring in items (favorite toy, photographs, news articles, etc.) depending on the requirements of the program. Costs are per Scout and include all information, printed materials, art supplies, or further guidance to meet the requirements of the advancement.

A minimum of 7 Scouts is required to hold a Program (maximum 50).

Scouts Night at the Museum!

Spend a fun filled night at our museum! Enjoy a special tour, arts & crafts activity, bedtime snack and watch a movie before settling down for a cozy night in one of our galleries. We’ll wake you up for breakfast bright and early the next morning! Spending the night away from home meets advancement requirements for younger Scouts, and the museum is a safe and unique space for this experience. A minimum of 15 Scouts are required. Fee includes art supplies, snack & breakfast. Fee: $18 per Scout, $10 per chaperone. Sleepovers are scheduled on Friday or Saturday nights and are subject to museum availability.

2 for 1! Sleepovers can be coordinated with a Badge Program - earn a badge while you spend the night! Call for price and availability.

All museum group visits, tours, programs & overnights must be booked in advance, to ensure availability of the museum and its staff. A confirmation will be sent when an activity has been booked, along with an invoice, if there is a fee.

Please direct all bookings and questions to the Museum Educator, Jill Malusky, at 330-833-4061, ext. 104, or at jmalusky@massillonmuseum.org
