The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame was created in 1992 to recognize the post-military achievements of Ohio’s outstanding veterans. Since its inception, 895 Ohio veterans have been inducted into the Hall of Fame representing all eras, branches and walks of life.

Honorees include astronauts, volunteers, community leaders, safety officers, veteran advocates, and former government officials.

The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame Executive Committee reviews nominations and selects up to 20 finalists who are inducted into the Hall of Fame during a November ceremony. In May, an Enshrinement Ceremony is held and the bronze plaque listing current class members is permanently installed in the second-floor lobby of the Riffe Center for Government & the Arts, 77 S. High Street, Columbus, Ohio.
