The Wood County Infirmary was built in 1869 to cater to the needs of Wood County residents. It was in operation from 1869 until 1971, when patients were transferred to a new facility.
The Infirmary was scheduled for demolition, but local historical groups managed to save it and the surrounding buildings as a museum and historical park.
It is now listed on the Register as the Wood County Historical Center and Museum. It was added to the NRHP in 1979.
