Also in the binder there's information on the Northwest Territories, the Athens Mental Hospital, and History about Ohio University. The second binder, The Visitors Center: The Bingham Family History, has information about the genealogy of Silas Bingham. The genealogy consists of information of his family traced back to England, his relatives moving around the country and his family to carry on after him. The third binder, Visitor Center Furnishing & Accessories, has all the information about the furniture within in The Bingham House. Each piece of furniture or item in the house has a page of documentation listing information about the specific item.
