Amish Country is typically characterized by the sound of horses hooves
traveling down a country road. In Coshocton County, the
clippity-clopping is heard as a canal boat is horse drawn along the
Ohio-Erie Canal.
Steeped in history, Coshocton County is home
to Historic Roscoe Village with shops and dining centered around
preserving life as it was in the 1800s. Once a bustling port on the
Ohio & Erie Canal, Historic Roscoe Village now mixes the charm and
history of the 1800s with fun and adventure for today.
The
holidays come alive at Historic Roscoe Village during the first three
Saturdays in December. Sharing the tradition of lighting the Christmas
tree and allowing visitors to share in the touching candle lighting is
a memorable way to usher in the holidays. Visitors are each given a
candle that is lit during the singing of Silent Night. This ceremony
takes place Dec. 1, 8, and 15.
Over the weekend, guests can
enjoy a visit with Santa, strolling carolers, live reindeer (Dec. 1
only), chestnuts roasting over an open fire, candlelight tours,
complimentary hot-mulled cider and cookies, and other holiday
festivities. Coupled with historic amenities offered throughout the
year, Historic Roscoe Village is fascinating during any season. Lodging
is available within minutes of the village.
More history is
waiting for visitors to the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum, located in the
village. With four permanent exhibits, the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum
offers educational opportunities. Group tours, lectures, and workshops
are available.
The Coshocton Footlight Players perform
throughout the year. Entertaining the area for nearly 60 years, the
Triple Locks Theater in Historic Roscoe Village comes alive as actors
take to the stage.
