Putnam Historic District
Putnam Historic District, Historic district in Zanesville, US
The Putnam Historic District contains 168 main structures spread across twelve blocks between the Pennsylvania Central Railroad and Muskingum River.
Originally named Springfield in 1800, the area was renamed Putnam in 1814 and later annexed to Zanesville in 1872.
The Stone Academy, built in 1809, hosted two Ohio Abolition Society conventions in 1835 and 1839, making it a center for anti-slavery activism.
The district features numerous 19th-century buildings constructed between 1865 and 1900, with 118 structures from this Victorian period still standing.
The Putnam Presbyterian Church, constructed in 1835, served as a platform for Frederick Douglass and maintained strong connections to the Underground Railroad network.
