ROSCOE VILLAGE

Roscoe Village is an 18th century town along the banks of the Ohio canal just outside of Coshocton.  If any of you saw the series years ago of Centennial by James Michener, the Amish scenes of Hell Street were shot in Roscoe Village.  There is a path from Roscoe to the canal boat about a mile down the canal, and Annie and I took a walk down to the canal boat and back one day.  People are in period costumes in the Village and interpret what the houses were used for, and some history behind them.
