Historic Roscoe Village

Roscoe Village was not what I expected. It has beautiful preserved buildings, restaurants, shops and businesses. I guess that I thought that it was a replica of a canal era village with reenactments of that time period.They might do that but I didn't see it.

Wonderful little historic village. The only remaining intact village along the old Ohio & Erie Canal.

We just tripped across this on our way thru rural Ohio.

A great little detour with multiple old buildings that are set up as mini-museums. It's mostly self-guided. Just a couple of the buildings had any staff. Start at the visitor center and leave your car there, it's just a short walk. Along the street are multiple nice shops as well. We spent about 3 hours, but you could spend more.

Nearby are the remains of one of the locks in a nice park.

Nice historical town. Lots of shops, gardens, art galleries to explore. Take a trip on a canal boat or visit a museum. Several restaurants, candy shop, ice cream to enjoy. Allow 3 to 6 hours. About an hour south of Canton.

Cute shops with lots of different kinds of offerings. Historical demonstrations are offered but we did not partake. We just stopped to take a short walk and see everything. We stopped in the candy store and there were lots of fun choices for kids and adults including every flavor of soda ever. The flowers around town and at the garden are lovely as well.

Nicely done restored historic village. Staff is helpful and friendly. Price is reasonable. Several restored buildings include a working blacksmith. Recreated one room school house. Several stores and a couple of restaurants. Please note the restaurants get very busy at meal times. We actually couldn’t get seated.
