This modern museum has three major exhibit areas. First is the National Road, early America's busiest land artery to the West. The National Road stretched from Cumberland, MD. to Vandalia, IL. Begun in 1806, the "Main Street of America" was the only significant land link between east coast and western frontier in the early 19th century. A 136 foot diorama of the National Road plus many objects illustrate this theme.

Second is Zane Grey, the "Father of the Adult Western." The Zanesville author wrote more than 80 books. His study is recreated plus many manuscripts and other memorabilia are displayed.

Since the early 1800s, the Y Bridge has received worldwide attention. Ripley's Believe It or Not featured Zanesville's Y Bridge as "the only bridge in the world which you can cross and still be on the same side of the river." The bridge grabbed the attention of airplane pilots as well. In the days when pilots relied on landmarks for their bearings, Amelia Earhart called Zanesville "the most recognizable city in the country” because of the Y Bridge. In 1995, a Japanese film crew taped the Y Bridge for "Bridges of the World" a television show with an audience of 20 million viewers.
