Educate. Engage. Empower. Students follow clues along the Trailblazers Trail, explore historic buildings, meet craftspeople like a master blacksmith, and collect Trailblazer Cards highlighting perseverance, teamwork, and leadership.

Visitors can walk through historic streets lined with restored buildings, artisan shops, and gardens that recreate the atmosphere of the 1830s. Through hands-on activities, demonstrations, and tours, guests can experience traditional crafts, learn about canal travel, and discover how people lived and worked during Ohio’s canal days. Historic Roscoe Village offers an engaging way to step back in time and explore an important part of Ohio’s history.
