The hill region's Civil War history comes to life at the Sherman Museum in Lancaster, which is the birthplace of local war hero Tecumseh Sherman. The Federal-style architecture of the Georgian Museum (also in Lancaster) is a throwback to early 19th century American craftsmanship. Look out for the pretty dolls houses, the quilt collections, and Erickson glass here.
For centuries, artists have been drawn to the Hocking Hills for inspiration. The tradition continues, and the myriad of artist studios and galleries is testament to this. Be sure to pick up an Arts & Ag Map at the Hocking Hills Welcome Center.
