The East Liverpool Museum of Ceramics houses an extensive collection of the wares produced by "America's Crockery City." Related displays on the social, political, and economic history of this town show the impact of the industry on the community. Ceramic manufacturing was more important in East Liverpool during the late-nineteenth century than is steel production in Pittsburgh or automobile manufacturing in Detroit today.

Located in the former city post office, the museum is a graphic example of the adaptive use of old buildings. Exhibits include dioramas depicting pottery making and a video on the old potteries.
