Canfield War Vet Museum

Chartered in 1988 by American Legion Post 177 and Ladies Auxiliary, the Canfield War Vet Museum collects and preserves items and history from American wars. The building that houses it was built in 1809 by Comfort S. Mygatt, a Revolutionary War veteran, and later passed through several generations of the Church family. Colonel James Madison Nash, a Civil War officer, lived there for a time, giving the house its nickname, “The Colonel's House.” The structure is the oldest building in Canfield on its original site. The carding barn at the rear of the property was built in 1810 to process sheep wool. The Wall of Honor there honors war veterans, especially the Revolutionary War veterans interred in Canfield cemeteries and the 18 Canfield men who lost their lives in World War II.
