Restoration efforts continue after fire destroyed Troy's oldest building
TROY, Ohio (WDTN) — One of the oldest log taverns in Ohio is continuing the long journey toward recovery after a devastating fire last year. The Overfield Tavern Museum has moved onto the second phase of rebuilding, after a fire nearly destroyed the oldest building in Troy six months ago. Crews make discovery while restoring Troy's oldest building This phase includes research, site preparation, planning and fundraising. One of the major next steps for the restoration is an archaeological excavation for potential new additions. The December 2024 fire not only damaged the building, but many artifacts were also lost — some that were over 200 years old. The fire was officially ruled accidental by investigators, who believe the fire began in the boiler room where several electrical systems and combustible items were housed. Parts of the building were torn down earlier this year due to damages, but officials say the main structure of the original building can be fully restored. Museum officials say they hope to have a portion of the building reopened by July 2026, to celebration America's 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
