America's
Canal Town
We bring history to life!
an 1830 Restored Canal Town
Roscoe Village has a story to tell
- It's the story of a small port built along the Ohio & Erie Canal
- It's the story of the way lives were enriched by the wonders of canal travel in this newly developing region
- It's the story of the 1913 flood that wiped out the canal and left the village of Roscoe to suffer years of decline
- And it's the story of caring entrepreneurs, historians, and townspeople who worked to restore this tiny town to a new life -- celebrating the past as Historic Roscoe Village
The story goes on today — 51 years since its restoration — in a village alive with fascinating historic tours, beautifully appointed buildings, annual festivals and events, and breathtaking gardens and pathways.
