Roscoe Village, Historic canal district in Coshocton, United States
Description
Roscoe Village is a restored canal district with buildings from the 1830s that preserve the architecture of that era along its main street. The layout shows how a working trade port was organized, with homes, warehouses, and workshops positioned near the water's edge.
History
The settlement began in 1816 and grew rapidly after 1830 when a canal connected it to larger markets and made it a shipping center. Rail transport eventually replaced the waterway, causing the village to decline and stop changing, which helped preserve its original form.
Culture
The buildings show how people lived and worked here during the canal era, with rooms arranged as families and merchants would have kept them. You can see the objects and tools that were part of daily life in this working trade settlement.
Practical
Most buildings can be visited at your own pace, with some offering free access and others charging small fees to enter. Start at the Visitor Center to get oriented and pick up maps and information about what is open.
