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 MADE"
 We
guarantee that our Washboards are
"American Made" 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 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.
A card from the donors can be included
with the shipment. All other laundry
items are purchased at local stores at
cost. We package everything here at our
factory and deliver the boxes to the
post office. Postage is expensive but we
are only responsible for shipments
within the USA.
The troop kits containing
one washboard #2033-F, one washtub,
clothesline, clothespins, 3 bars of
ivory
soap, and most importantly
instructions on how to use a washboard. Total cost for these items,
plus some of the shipping 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, it's 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,
that it
becomes unforgettable. In 2006 they
selected the Hocking Hills and the
Columbus Washboard Company.
