New permanent exhibit. Crossroads of Destiny, the stunning new exhibit telling the hiSTORY of the Treaty of Greene Ville. Greene Ville was the largest stockaded fort ever built in North America and it was the scene of the the most significant American Indian treaty ever negotiated. The Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795 opened the door to the settlement of the Midwest resulting in Ohio statehood eight years later. The Treaty also ended forty years of conflict over the upper Ohio Valley.

The second floor of Garst Museum houses a treasure of Military uniforms and a vast array of military artifacts. All five branches of the US military services are represented. There are original uniforms from all the wars fought by the United States with the exception of one. Starting with the war of 1812, there are uniforms from the Civil War, Spanish American, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm and the current Iraq War. The lone exception is the Mexican American conflict of the mid 1800's. There are also uniforms from the three US military academies.
