Where else can you go to find brick streets, historic homes, recreational trails,
camping, elegant bed and breakfast inns, and stunning College campuses—all
within reach of your home. You will be delighted when you come to our area to
visit, whether it is for business or pleasure.
Our beautiful downtown Mount Vernon has one of the most recognizable streetscapes
in Ohio with its tall civil war era monument where the soldier is looking to
the south in honor of those on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line that fought
and died for their beliefs. Tree lined downtown streets are plush with quaint
little shoppes and eateries, a variety for each taste. You can find that special
antique that you've been looking for at any one of our many antique and collectibles
stores. Or did you just need a bolt of that unusual cloth or a spool of ribbon?
If it's heritage that sparks your interest, we have two of the finest rural
museums in Ohio. The Knox
County Agricultural Museum is a one-of-a-kind, with its large collection
of farm and home implements from the 1800s and 1900s. Next is the Knox
County Historical Museum where you can see the authentic memorabilia of
two great Knox County performing artists—Dan Emmett, the composer of Turkey
in the Straw and Dixie, and world famous comedian Paul Lynde.
Then there's The Woodward - that is the profound unrestored Woodward
Opera House, America's Oldest Authentic 19th Century Theater, located in
Downtown Mount Vernon. At the end of the day, you can stay at any one of our
many comfortable 19th and early 20th century historic bed and breakfast inns
or in one of our fine hotels.
And if you just want to take a short walk (or a long one), take a hike on our
Kokosing Gap Trail and the Mohican Valley Trail,
where you can hike or bike from Mount Vernon to Brinkhaven. If you like to camp
or canoe, just up the road (or up the river) is our great Mohican and Kokosing
areas, with ample campgrounds and canoeing on some of the greatest easy-water
rivers in the Midwest.
Throughout the summer and fall, each area community puts on their own festivals
and street fairs complete with music, art, shows, great food, and more. There
are also many exciting and fun musical and theatrical events all year long.
