Have you ever visited a museum or historic home and wondered "why in the world do they have that?" Well, if you're looking at the Pomeroy Collection, the reason is all in the name! Whether it's a 'Gem Set' patented and manufactured by H. C. Pomeroy; a prescription box filled from a pharmacy in Pomeroy, Ohio; or a soup tureen depicting the Berry Pomeroy Castle, they all have one connection - the name Pomeroy.
Bill Pomeroy, the owner of the collection, has been researching his Pomeroy ancestry since 2000. His focus on Pomeroy research led him to find many artifacts made or owned by Pomeroys or bearing the name of Pomeroy towns across America. Bill's Historic Collections department (Project Roots) has been researching and conserving this collection to help in their ongoing study of the Pomeroy Family in America.
