Did you know that Ohio is home to not one, but two, restored canal towns? (You can read about another one here.) It’s true—and they’re unbelievably charming.
Roscoe Village in Coshocton, Ohio is a charming canal town Ohio history buffs will absolutely love. Complete with horse-drawn canal boat rides, living history tours and old-fashioned shops, this is one town everyone in Ohio needs to explore at least once. Even if you don’t consider yourself a history buff, you’ll fall in love with the old world charm and beautiful surroundings. Take a look:
Close to some of the most scenic parts of Ohio Amish Country, you'll find this historic village that's a true Ohio gem.
It's located at 600 N Whitewoman St., Coshocton, OH 43812.

Roscoe Village is a restored 1830s canal town full of fun places to explore. When you're here, you'll feel as if you've temporarily stepped back in time.
Even all the shops reflect the era. You'll find the most unique gifts here.
Pictured below is the Abigail Birch & Company, (formerly known as the Caldersburgh Trading Co.), a stylish boutique you'll want to spend some time exploring.
Canal boat rides are offered Memorial Day - Labor Day at various times on Tuesday - Friday and Saturday - Sunday. After Labor Day, rides are offered only on the weekends until the third weekend in October. For more information, click here.
While you're in town, we recommend eating at Warehouse Steak n' Stein. You'll find it at 400 N Whitewoman St., Coshocton, OH 43812.
With a legendary location, legendary entertainment and legendary onion rings, pinwheel steaks and pork tenderloin sandwiches, the Old Warehouse in the Historic Roscoe Village is a must-try.

In the fall, you'll want to attend the annual Apple Butter Stirrin’ Festival, which celebrates the magical autumn season.
This year's festival takes place on October 19 - 21. Don't miss it!
During the holiday season, the town is even more magical. If you want an old-fashioned Christmas experience, consider visiting Roscoe Village during the month of December.
