The Unique Town In Ohio That’s Anything But Ordinary

Most people don’t know there’s an impressive replica of an Old West town tucked away in the southern hills of The Buckeye State. Dogwood Pass in Ohio was built to look and feel as authentic as possible, complete with bath houses, saloons and gun fights. Step back in time into the Old West at this unique town in Ohio that’s anything but ordinary. Check it out:

Located just a mile and a half off of State Route 32, you'll find this hidden gem that's truly unique.

Dogwood Pass is a small town in Ohio like no other. It started out as a haven among friends, but eventually it opened to the public.
The town features a saloon, jail, general store, bunk house, bath house, bank, freight office, gun shop, livery stable, an undertaker, a souvenir shop and more.

The saloon was the first of its buildings to be constructed, but it hardly feels modern. This town will transport you straight to the past.
You can tour this gorgeous spot on select dates, and you can even experience totally unique encounters in this area's old school atmosphere.

Horror at Dogwood Pass is an annually anticipated attraction, and it's spooky to the core. Like many Old West Towns, this reconstruction gets rather creepy as the sun goes down... but maybe that's because of the ghosts and monsters lurking in the shadows.
Inside the saloon, you'll find a cozy atmosphere, seating for 80 to 100 people and a large stage area.

Outside, you can even mine for gems on select dates. It's fun the whole family will love.

Dogwood Pass In Ohio

Can I visit any abandoned places in Ohio?

The Buckeye State is full of incredible and creepy places. You can visit the abandoned Moonville Tunnel, and mysterious things hide in the woods outside of Ohio's big cities... as in the case of Hillandale Bridge near Cleveland.

Are there any ghost towns in Ohio?

Now, you won't find ghost towns like you'll see in the Old West, but Ohio has its fair share of abandoned communities. Little Egypt's cemetery is still visible, and entire sections of Shawnee, Ohio sit untouched.

What are the creepiest places in Ohio?

Ohio's Dogwood Pass isn't quite creepy, but the state is full of haunted destinations that will challenge any skeptic's stability. Some of the most haunted locations in the nation are in Ohio, including the infamous Mansfield Reformatory and the murderous Ceely Rose House.
