Founded in 1994 by Robert D. Thomas and David W. Meyers, the CSMHOF recognizes Columbus area musicians whose careers have significantly enriched our musical heritage.  To be considered for the Hall of Fame, a musician must have been born at least 60 years ago and have lived in Central Ohio.  The CSMHOF is also engaged in thoroughly documenting the history of popular music in this area.

You are invited to submit nominations for the Hall of Fame or information for the organization's on-going HISTORY PROJECT.  At any given time, there are some specific QUESTIONS we are actively seeking answers to.   Regardless of your musical preference -- from Ragtime to ROCK & ROLL and beyond, The Columbus Senior Musicians Hall of Fame, Inc., is striving to

ensure that the music and the musicians are not forgotten.  If you

would like to make a DONATION to this cause, we currently have a gift for you! 

Our new book, COLUMBUS, THE MUSICAL CROSSROADS, a photo-history of music in Central Ohio from 1900-1970, was published by Arcadia Publishing in 2008.
