Our Story

The History Store is a family owned, brick-and-mortar
business located in the heart of historic, downtown Chillicothe, Ohio.
Originally established in 1996, the store has evolved to offer the largest
selection of military miniatures in the state, as well as a broad array of
books, gifts, art, local history, and toys for the avid historian. Our online
platform offers military miniatures from the top manufacturers in the industry,
particularly locally-owned W.Britain! In fact, we pride ourselves on being a
type of “flagship store” for W.Britain. Visitors to our shop will enjoy our
various dioramas, and find super sales not offered online. Also available,
in-store only, are one-of-a-kind vignettes created by W.Britain’s Creative
Director Ken Osen and Master Pattern Maker Jeff Verswyvel.
