Travel back in time to an era that forever changed the entire course of Ohio's history.
Check out Nan & Earl Miller’s recent experience on their trip here in Historic Roscoe Village.
Live out our history and immerse yourself in Ohio's rich heritage.
Roscoe Village sets the scene as the restored 1830s port town reveals a glimpse into what it would be like to live a day in the life. Complete with interpreters, a practicing blacksmith, digital kiosk, and even an activity center to try your hand at the many unique crafts of the time, our Living History Tours will whisk you away to yesteryear.
Discover an array of local artisans and boutiques as you stroll down the brick paved sidewalks and enjoy decadent eats and treats throughout the village restaurant and pubs.
Visitors are transported back in time while a team of draft horses pull the canal boat along a restored section of the Ohio and Erie Canal. Listen to the captain as he tells tales of canal life in the 1800s. It is sure to be the highlight of any trip!
