Back to our home page. Museum History Museum founder Nick Pahys, Jr. DDG-CH-AdVS-A.G.E.-LDA-FIBA has made it his lifelong task to study U.S. Presidents. Now, he shares his collection amassed over 40 years with visitors to the Hartsgrove Emporium in western Ashtabula County, Ohio. ![]() One of the reasons Pahys established the museum is to inform the public about Hanson, the first President of the United States. Hanson, and seven others, served the United States from 1781 until the current constitution was adopted in 1789. As is widely known, George Washington was the first person elected President under the Constitution. ![]() Among the pieces the museum features is a November 24, 1781 letter from George Washington to John Hanson where he congratulates Hanson on being elected to "the most important seat in the United States." The museum doesn't stop at number one. All fifty-one presidents (8 elected under Continental Congress and 43 elected under the Constitution) are featured with plaques describing each president's life, their accomplishments in office, and information about their wives. The Presidential Museum is a unique, educational experience. It's been featured in several publications, including the Cleveland Plain Dealer. |
