As a self-sustaining non-profit, we are entirely funded by our daytime historical tour program, paranormal programs, donations, and special events. All revenue we receive goes directly into the maintenance and restoration of our historic building.

West Cell Block Restoration Program Sponsorships Available Now
We are embarking on a 3-5 year journey to fully restore the West Cell Block. We are offering a unique opportunity to sponsor a cell. Your donation will ensure that the West Cell Block can return to its former grandeur and a plaque with your name on it, in your chosen cell, will show everyone that you contributed to the historical renovations. We only have 320 cells, so there is very limited availability – don’t wait!
Have an item related to The Ohio State Reformatory or to the movies filmed here? We’d love to add them to our collection! Bring your item to your next OSR visit, and in exchange, you will receive 2 free tour tickets. All items are tax deductible; submit a donation form during your visit to receive a receipt for your donation.
