WELCOME TO THE COLUMBUS WASHBOARD COMPANY

The Columbus Washboard Company has been making washboards since 1895 and is the only manufacturer still operating in the United States of America today. This site features our products, our traditional construction methods and history, washboard uses and our Annual Washboard Music Festival.

The Columbus Washboard Company offers washboards with a variety of rubbing surfaces including spiral metal, galvanized, stainless steel, brass, and glass. The company also offers chalk, cork, and mirror surfaces. All of these boards are hand assembled one at a time with equipment dating back to the 1900's.

Peaking at 1,287,757 washboards made in 1941, today’s washboards are still used for hand scrubbing just like your Grandmother did. They are also used as decorative pieces for laundry rooms and kitchens, as furniture accents, and as a musical instrument.

PROUD TO BE AMERICAN

We guarantee that our Washboards are produced one at a time by hand in Logan, Ohio, USA" Make sure your washboard says Columbus Washboard Company on the back. Chinese replicas are far inferior and the ink used for printing may be toxic. Be proud to buy American made products and help us preserve the Columbus Washboard Company for future generations to cherish as an important part of American history.

In response to recent emails from our servicemen and women presently deployed in various locations overseas. The Columbus Washboard Company is proud to be sending shipments of laundry supplies to help our troops as they strive to fulfill the tasks before them. God Bless all of them!

We are accepting donations for these shipments, and all donors will be sent an invoice to show where their donation has gone and whom it has been shipped to. All the other laundry supplies we purchase from a local hardware store at their cost. We package everything here at the factory and deliver the shipments to the post office. Postage is expensive, but we are only responsible for the shipping to the APO address.

The troop kits containing one washboard #2033-F, one washtub, clothesline, clothespins, bar of lye soap. Total cost for these items is $25.00. Shipping in most cases is paid by The Columbus Washboard Company from donations from our visitors, tours and the loving families of servicemen and woman.

More than scenery, its the local color that makes a drive worthwhile. Each year since 2002 Rand McNally map editors have selected five drives in the USA that make a vacation more than memorable. It becomes unforgettable. In 2006 they selected the Hocking Hills and the Columbus Washboard Company. Click HERE to see the article.
