Robbin Ferriman

In 2001, I earned a Bachelors of Fine Arts from Ohio University. Years before that I began working on my family’s genealogy, during which I developed a love of history I had not before experienced.

I started volunteering at the Piatt Castles in West Liberty, Ohio, in 2006. This work led to me to intermittently providing historical interpretation, archaeology, and educational programs, as well as archival work.

As a member of the Swedenborgian Church, in Urbana, Ohio, I am creating archives for our church. This work led me to be become a member of a committee serving the larger Swedenborgian denomination. This committee is focused on the preservation of their library and historical documents.

Beginning in June 2022, I have worked at the Johnny Appleseed Museum, organizing its documents, creating a Finding Aid, as well as an archive to preserve important history.
