New Indian Ridge Museum
The New Indian Ridge Museum, Historic Shupe Homestead, and Wildlife Preserve is a complex founded in 2000 by Matt Nahorn. The Preserve is located in Amherst, Ohio and has received recognitions from the Ohio Archaeological Society, Lorain County Historical Society, Amherst Historical Society, and numerous other organizations. The oldest house in Amherst is located on the grounds of The Preserve and houses both the museum and its curator. Jacob Shupe, the founding father of Amherst and an early resident of what would become Lorain County, Ohio, was responsible for the house's construction which built between 1813 and 1818, making it one of the oldest frame structures still standing in Lorain County.

==Overview==
With artifacts dating from prehistory to just a few decades ago, the Museum's collection is diverse. Many of the artifacts came from the Indian Ridge Museum, founded by Col. Vietzen. Since Col. Vietzen's death, Matt Nahorn has worked to reassemble the museum; the goal of the New Indian Ridge Museum (NIRM) is to regather the original collection which was auctioned off after Col. Vietzen's death. In order to accomplish its goal, the NIRM has received loans and donations from the Amherst Historical Society, Ohio Archaeological Society, and many private citizens.
In recent years, the NIRM has begun to focus on ecology and the conservation of wildlife habitats. With the growth of Ohio's economy, developers are beginning to build up Amherst. In order to counter adverse effects caused by development on the surrounding ecosystem, Nahorn and his team at the NIRM have become leaders of the Beaver Creek Watershed Protection Group (BCWPG), a group that works to limit changes to the land that could augment flooding and pollution. The BCWPG has placed an emphasis on maintaining floodplains and riparian zones along Beaver Creek, in their natural states. For a creek of Beaver Creek’s size, a riparian area of at least 120–150 feet is needed; a river for the size of the nearby Black River or Vermilion River needs a riparian area of about 300 feet. To assist in this, the NIRM has declared that all NIRM land on Beaver Creek, including mature forested land, shall remain undeveloped. In September 2008, the Nahorns signed a land conservation easement, through the Western Reserve Land Conservancy, so that the property will be permanently preserved. This has allowed for the creation of trails to enjoy the natural beauty of the area and to observe the wildlife. As a result of Nahorn's conservation efforts, members of the Archaeological Society of Ohio petitioned the Kentucky State Government to have the curator named an official Kentucky Colonel in 2007, just as Col. Vietzen was named.
For the past several years, the NIRM team has reached out to local academic institution, Lake Ridge Academy and provided tours for the students and teachers. His efforts continue those of Col. Vietzen to help educate the students of Lake Ridge Academy and other interested individuals in regards to the natural, prehistoric, and historic history of the area.
