About

Hale Farm and Village in Bath, Ohio is the Western Reserve Historical Society's outdoor museum featuring 32 historic structures from the 1825–1860 era—representing Connecticut Western Reserve architectural traditions that early Ohio settlers transplanted from New England to the Western frontier. Farmhouses, barns, a saltbox house, and village buildings set in the Cuyahoga Valley's rolling landscape create authentic early Ohio pioneer atmosphere for period drama, Midwest heritage documentary, and productions exploring the Great Migration of New Englanders to the Ohio frontier. Both interior and extensive exterior filming available across all period structures with WRHS institutional coordination. Adjacent to Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area, extending the visual landscape. Perfect for early Ohio settlement narratives, New England diaspora stories, and 19th-century Midwest period productions. A premier Ohio film location. Filming permits available through Western Reserve Historical Society Film Office. Formal institutional film use agreements required for commercial productions.
