Historic Roscoe Village 40.28147° N -81.878296° W

Description

Historic Roscoe Village is a restored 1800s canal town located in Coshocton, Ohio. Once a busy port along the Ohio & Erie Canal, the village was an important center for trade, transportation, and daily life during the canal era. Today, Roscoe Village has been carefully preserved to reflect what life was like in the early 19th century.
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.
