Dear Visitor:
The Mansfield Reformatory Preservation Society (MRPS) launched a major Capital Campaign in 2001. It is our goal to raise $1,500,000.00 to begin the restoration of the building. The long term cost is estimated at $15,000,000.00. Our most pressing need at this point in time is to seal the envelope of the Ohio State Reformatory Historic Site (OSR) by replacing the entire roof, restoring the windows of the whole facility, and tuckpointing the stone walls. So much more needs to be done, but without this initial step all other work will be for naught.
We have targeted the restoration of two other areas inside the site; the first two floors of the East Administration building that once housed the Superintendent of OSR and his family. We also have set a goal of restoring the Central Guard Room for two very good reasons: First to enhance the interpretation of the room historically and second to provide a rental facility for receptions, gatherings and dinner theater performances.
If you would like to lend us your support please
feel free to make a tax deductible contribution to MRPS Capital Campaign and
mailing it to:

We are a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization.
Many other
projects and purposes exist; however, these areas must be worked
on if tours are to
be successful, safe, and entertaining.
Volunteers are needed and appreciated in both professional and non-professional capacities. Volunteering is a great way to return something of yourself to the community of Mansfield. E-mail us for more info, to get a brochure, or to drop us a letter.
