Okay, if this is to have its own article - and I think it probably should - then it needs to have enough basic info to stand on its own: what it is, where it is, why it exists, why it's notable. I've tried to make a start on this, with background on the filming of the movie and the fictional location represented. There's probably room to flesh it out, though, without it being an advertisement for the business. For example: what is the local reaction? How does it fit in the context of other Ohio attractions? Is the museum accredited? Are there other museums and attractions around the country based on film locations? (Offhand I know of one, Old Tucson Studios. What is the age of the house, and how does that compare with the age of Shepherd's boyhood home? Do they resemble each other at all? And so on. Have fun!
