In 1951 the society acquired the old stone house, built by Christian Smith in 1805 as a tavern. It is said to be the oldest stone house in Ohio. The house was restored and opened for the Sesquicentennial celebration of Lisbon, 1803-1953, sponsored by The Lisbon Historical Society. Recently, The Erie Railroad Station was acquired after the Erie Railroad ceased to operate its spur line into Lisbon. In 1985 station was moved from its prior location to society land across the alley from The Old Stone House.
Bus tours are available year round.
Bus tours consist of both museums and historic downtown Lisbon. Other special points of interest can be added upon request. Lunch at a historic restaurant can also be made available. A gift shop is located in the Erie Railroad Station.
