history
Located in the center of Ohio,
Delaware County was founded in 1808
and named after the Delaware Indians.
Delaware is home to Ohio Wesleyan University and
the birthplace of Rutherford B. Hayes, 19th president of
the United States. Hayes met his wife, Lucy Webb, when
she was one of the first female students at Ohio Wesleyan
University. A Hayes Trail through Historic Downtown
Delaware brochure takes you past points of interest,
including where his birthplace once stood.
Each September, Delaware County celebrates its
agricultural heritage with the Delaware County Fair, which
also features family entertainment and world-famous
harness racing. The internationally renowned Little Brown
Jug, one of the jewels in the triple crown of Grand Circuit
harness racing, draws over 45,000 spectators. The Little
Brown Jug has the uniqueness of being the only such race
of its caliber to still take place at a county fair.
Rich in heritage, Delaware County has many buildings
and areas listed on the National Register of Historic
Places, including Historic Downtown Delaware. Downtown
Delaware has been designated a Preserve America
Community by the White House, a Best Hometown by Ohio
Magazine, and also has the distinction of being a Main
Street Community.
Visitors can enjoy a self-guided walking tour of Sandusky
and Winter Streets, using brochures prepared by the
Delaware County Historical Society. Walking tour brochures
are available at
the Historical
Society and the
Delaware County
Tourism Bureau.

The Old Towne Hall and Myers
Inn in Sunbury are also on the
National Register of Historic Places.
Both are located on Sunbury’s
quaint village square. For a heritage
exploration of the square, tour
booklets can be borrowed from the
Myers Inn Museum.

Delaware
Downtown Delaware –
Historic and Happening!
Historic and happening are not words you hear used
together very often, but Historic Downtown Delaware is a
trendy, happening place to visit.
The downtown is charming with 1800’s cornices adorning
most of the buildings. Delaware is listed on the National
Register of Historic Places and as a Preserve America
Community. When visitors come to Delaware they are
enthused to find the downtown bustling with activity.
Travelers from all over the globe visited Delaware last year.
Those signing the visitor information center guestbook
came from at least 19 different states and nine different
countries! Here are some of the comments they wrote
about Delaware: very nice area; a lovely town; friendly
people; wonderful hospitality; beautiful city; love it here;
enjoying our stay; and love to eat out in this town!
Downtown Delaware is one of the most charming
shopping and dining destinations in Ohio. Foodies enjoy
the variety of dining options in Delaware and can treat
their taste buds with everything from fine dining to huge
juicy burgers. Small plates, scratch pizza, craft brews, and
local artisan wines are also popular with visitors. Whether
the crave is for American, Italian, Mexican, Asian, Cajun,
or Greek cuisine, Downtown Delaware has it all going on
in local non-chain restaurants. Whether it’s date night or
family night, there are plenty of popular places to dine.
8
Delaware is also a great place to be inspired by the arts
without maneuvering through a large metropolitan city
and paying high fees to park. Delaware is home to Ohio
Wesleyan University (one of the premier liberal arts colleges
in the Country), the Central Ohio Symphony, a beautiful
Arts Castle, the Ross Art Museum, 1916 Strand Theatre,
City Arts Center, and an annual two-day Arts Festival
featuring over 150 vendors. Original works of art by many
talented local artists can also be purchased at local shops
and galleries.
Three large antique and collectible malls are located in the
heart of Historic Downtown Delaware, each featuring lots
of vendor booths. The malls also have many vintage items
that are highly nostalgic for treasurer hunters. Like the
ambiance of the historic downtown, these three malls offer
a fun blast from the past experience. Garth’s, Ohio’s oldest
auction house, is also located in Delaware and is recognized
as one of the top auction firms in North America.
Many events happen right downtown, including a Main
Street Delaware First Friday each month where the shops in
Delaware are open later in the evening and fun activities are
planned for children. Sidewalks are alive with shoppers and
diners on First Fridays. Visitors and community members
also enjoy being able to purchase fresh fruits, vegetables,
and canned and baked goods at the Saturday morning and
Wednesday afternoon Farmer’s Markets that take place
May-October.
Delaware is also famous for the Little Brown Jug, one
of the jewels in the triple crown of Grand Circuit harness
9
racing. The Little Brown Jug is a world-renowned race for
three-year-old pacers, and the only such race of its caliber
to still take place during a County Fair. The race track was
built to be the fastest half-mile track in the world! In 2013,
Actor Emilio Estavez joined racing fans between takes for
his new film, Johnny Longshot.
The Sunday before the Delaware County Fair, the streets of
Delaware are filled with horses and marching bands. The
annual All-Horse Parade is the largest non-motorized parade
east of the Mississippi with over 500 animals participating
in the parade. All the vehicles are horse, mule, or donkey
drawn, and spectators set their chairs up early to get a
good view.
Sports fans enjoy coming to Delaware May-August to cheer
for the Ohio Machine. The Machine is the only professional
major-league lacrosse team in Ohio, and play their home
games at Ohio Wesleyan University. Individual and season
tickets are available. Fans often participate in various
competitions for prizes on the field during time-outs and
half-time, and love their team.
In addition to all the great downtown fun, four lakes,
two State Parks, and 11 Preservation Parks offer great
opportunities for outdoor recreation.

Tourism Bureau at (740) 368-4748 or 1-888-335-6446.

Powell
New homes surround
Powell and vintage homes have become the
place to shop in Powell’s unique downtown.
Powell offers an eclectic shopping and dining experience.
Many of the downtown shops are located in vintage homes
that line the main street of Powell. There is also a nice
variety of places to dine, including many locally-owned
restaurants. Visitors appreciate the selection of up-scale,
gourmet, casual, and family-friendly dining experiences. If
you want to satisfy your sweet tooth or crave for ice cream,
yummy baked goods and the best of Ohio ice cream shops
are ready to please your palate.
Roam around the shops in Powell and discover one-of-akind items to wear, give as a gift or use in decorating your
home. An eclectic shopping experience allows shoppers to
blend antiques and contemporary wares.
The annual Powell Festival takes place each June, and is
a favorite multi-day event, featuring children’s activities,
musical performances, and fireworks enjoyed by visitors
and residents. The weekly Farmer’s Market, when in season,
and annual Downtown Street Markets also bring visitors
to Powell.
There is also plenty of opportunity for outdoor recreation in
Powell, including the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium, Zoombezi
Bay water theme park, golfing, hiking in parks and nature
preserves, as well as boating and fishing on the nearby
O’Shaughnessy Reservoir and Scioto River.
Plan some time to shop, dine, and play in Powell.

Shawnee Hills
Shawnee Hills is a gardener’s delight! Three
garden centers featuring beautiful plants,
gift items, and all your gardening needs are
waiting to be explored.
When finished browsing the garden centers, take time
for lunch. Choose from American, Mexican, Greek, Italian,
or Asian cuisine at the variety of restaurants you’ll find in
the village.
Lunch is also available at the historic log house on the
corner which is constructed from the original log home
of Civil War Veteran John Hunt Morgan. The home
features three stories of quality name-brand and
hand-crafted items. Take some time to get familiar
with other places in the Village and then top off your
day with a sweet treat from the local bakery.
If you happen to hear a few big cat roars or vocalizing
gibbons there is no reason to be alarmed. The Columbus
Zoo and Aquarium is just on the other side of the Scioto
River and features nearly 10,000 animals representing over
575 species from around the globe.
One thing for sure, every day is Earth Day in Shawnee Hills.

Sunbury and galena area
When visitors arrive at Sunbury’s Village
Square with its tall trees, majestic Civil War
statue, quaint gazebo, and copula atop the Old
Towne Hall, they usually feel right at home.
Though the square is a quiet and peaceful place
to sit on a bench and nibble an ice cream cone,
other times it is the center for major activities
and events.
Three holiday flea markets take place on the square
Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day. Visitors
also come for Christmas on the Square, Sunbury Sizzle
and Sounds, the Country Cruise-In, and to shop for fresh
produce and homemade goods at the Saturday Morning
Farmer’s Market May-October.
The old stagecoach inn, now the Myers Inn and Museum,
sits on the southwest corner of the village square. The
stagecoach inn had many famous guests in the 1800s,
including prominent politicians, who gave speeches from the
balcony, and Annie Oakley and Buffalo Bill when the Wild
West Show performed in Sunbury in 1911.
The Myers Inn currently serves as a museum and the
headquarters for Civil War General William Stark Rosecrans
re-enactment troops. The Inn also exhibits historic art and
artifacts, a gift shop, and period dresses. History pageants,
luncheons, teas, meetings, and other events take place
at the Myers Inn. The Barn next to the Inn features a
blacksmith’s shop and livery stable.
St Rt 37 goes right past Sunbury’s
village square, and it’s hard to miss
the majestic statue sitting atop of a
large glacier erratic. The erratic is one
of the five largest in Ohio. Civil War
General William Stark Rosecrans, who
hailed from Sunbury, proudly sits in
his saddle on this magnificent, highlydetailed bronze statue. The sight of it
14
has become a car-stopper for travelers who want to take a
closer look.
Visitors enjoy exploring the Myers Inn Museum, browsing
the antique shops located around the square, dining at the
hometown grille, or eating a big juicy burger surrounded by
firehouse memorabilia.
Sunbury is also home to the Ohio Fallen Heroes Memorial.
The Memorial is the official Ohio memorial honoring
Ohioans from all branches of the military who have lost
their lives in the Global War on Terrorism.
The nearby village of Galena hosts an annual Summer
Festival. The festival takes place on the same day as
Sunbury’s Sizzle and Sounds. Shuttles are provided between
the towns during the festivals.
If you want some fun outdoor recreation during your visit to
Sunbury and Galena, nearby Alum Creek State Park offers
hiking trails, water recreation, mountain biking, and bridle
trails. Riders need to bring their own horse, and Alum Creek
has a special campground location for horses and riders.
Bird watchers can make use of their binoculars at Alum
Creek, Hogback Ridge Preserve, the Mudflats Boardwalk,
and other nearby places, including along the Ohio Erie
Trail, a 4.7 mile bike path parallel to St Rt 3, and the .5 mile
scenic Hoover Reservoir trail.
Golfers can tee off on seven different
golf courses in the Sunbury-Galena area.
The courses offer challenges for a variety
of skill levels.
Sunbury’s square is just four miles east of I-71 exit #131,
where hotels, gas stations, and restaurants are conveniently
located for those who want to stay awhile.
