The Betts House is owned and operated by the National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in The State of Ohio (NSCDA-OH), a non-profit organization, founded in 1896, which promotes our national heritage through historic preservation and education. NSCDA-OH owns the Kemper Log House now at Heritage Village in Sharon Woods, the NSCDA Ohio Gallery at the Cincinnati Art Museum, and the Betts House, to ensure that these historic structures and decorative arts are preserved and shared with the community.
