Uhrichsville, houses the Uhrichsville Clay Museum and shares the incredible story of when Uhrichsville was known as the Clay Capital of the World with over 30 clay manufacturers. The Museum offers two floors filled with rare folk art created by clay workers in their spare time, unique pipes and tools, miniature salesmen samples, and much more. Visit the Clay Workers’ Theatre to hear the living history of some of the men who say ‘when clay was king.’ Dennison offers a unique look into the past at the Dennison Depot Railroad Museum, named as a National Historic Landmark for its WWII Servicemen’s Canteen that served ©Andy Donaldson Photography 1.5 million GI’s, and was nicknamed “Dreamsville.” The Depot is a restored 1873 Pennsylvania Railroad Depot and now houses a museum with exhibits that fill the original Women’s Waiting Room, baggage room, ticket office, and Railway Express building. The Depot stands exactly 100 miles from Columbus and Pittsburgh, and is located specifically at that point because a steam engine could only go 100 miles before requiring water. At its peak, the Dennison Yards were considered to be the most complete and extensive in the country. While in the “Twin Cities” enjoy the Uhrichsville Water park, numerous restaurants and craft stores and outfitters ready to get you ‘geared’ up. Norma Johnson Center Located 3 miles west of Dover exit 83 or 6 miles east of Sugarcreek.

Open dawn to dusk. www.normajohnsoncenter.com w w w. t r a v e l t u s c . c o m | 1 EXPERIENCE OUR DESTINATIONS Newcomerstown, Port Washington and Gnadenhutten Our southern hills and spectacular foliage are just two reasons to visit the towns of Newcomerstown, Port Washington and Gnadenhutten. A stop along the canal during the 1800’s will take you to the village of Newcomerstown and two very special museums. The Temperance Tavern Museum will give you an insight into a canal town and the former home of both Cy Young and Woody Hayes. The Old Mainstreet Museum is a recreation of the downtown during the early 1900’s. A visit here during a special event might allow you to see special singers during Christmas or lively discussion about the price of sugar during WWII. Just a short drive to the east will find you in Port Washington and the Union Hall. Listed on the National Historic Register, the building houses the historical society with photos and other memorabilia of the day. Travel to Gnadenhutten (just a little further to the east) Ohio’s oldest existing settlement, prospered until the outbreak of the Revolutionary War when the Indians were driven from their homes. In February 1782, they were allowed to return to their village. On March 8, 1782, following a night of hymn singing and prayer, 90 men, women and children were massacred and all of the cabins were set on fire by the Pennsylvania Militia. Today, a museum, mass grave and monument, and two reconstructed log buildings commemorate this tragic event. 1706 E.

The Dollhouse museum located in Bolivar houses 50 dollhouses made by the owner and include Martha Simon’s childhood home (a former chicken coop), antique tin 2-story, Abe Lincoln's home and Sherlock Holmes' apartment. Bolivar is also the site of Ohio’s only Revolutionary War Fort, Fort Laurens which was constructed in 1778 as a stepping stone to the West and a staging area for an attack on Fort Detroit. ©Andy Donaldson Photography Currently the museum contains artifacts from previous archeological digs, the State Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Patriot of the American Revolution which serves to honor the 21 soldiers who died. Zoar Village was recently named as a National Historic Landmark and was founded in 1817 by a group of German Separatists seeking religious freedom. In 1819, to survive and pay for their land, they formed the Society of Separatists of Zoar, a Christian Communal Society. Due to pressures from the outside world, it disbanded in 1898. Today, visitors can revisit the 19th Century at this German-style village. The historic district abounds with restored private homes, shops, and ten buildings open to tour by the Zoar Community Association. The Little Switzerland of Ohio… need we say more? The “Worlds Largest Cuckoo Clock” located in Sugarcreek will dance its dance every 30 minutes for you amongst the copper kettle and geraniums planted there each year. While you wait for the clock, visit the Alpine Hills Museum with its three floors of beautifully displayed local history – celebrating Sugarcreek’s Swiss, German and Amish heritage. Or visit the brick mural directly across the street from the clock which is particularly beautiful at night lighting up the 13 panels of history in brick. A visit to Ragersville and Baltic which are nearby will yield another look at our history. The Baltic Area Historical Society is open to the public and features photos, artifacts, family genealogies, furniture, uniforms and more from Baltic’s treasured past. Ragersville offers an 1830’s restored School House and the 1897 Emmanuel Lutheran Church and Museum. w w w. t r a v e l t u s c . c o m | 3 EXPERIENCE OUR DESTINATIONS New Philadelphia New Philadelphia is not only the county seat, but the home of Ohio’s first village, Schoenbrunn. Founded in 1772 as a Moravian mission, the village is reconstructed to appear as it did over 200 years ago. Crops, the tending of livestock, hunting and craftwork in addition to schoolwork and religious teachings made up a day in the life of a Schoenbrunn resident or visitor. Founder David Zeisberger’s grave may also be visited nearby in Goshen on State Route 416. Goshen was a mission village founded after Schoenbrunn. Today, at Schoenbrunn, 17 reconstructed log cabins, the original cemetery, and 2 acres of planted fields are available to tour. A trip to the community would not be complete without a night time visit to “Trumpet in the Land”. Written by Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Paul Green, "Trumpet in the Land" is an unforgettable experience that brings to life the Ohio frontier during the Revolutionary War. Performed in the same hills from which this story is born, Trumpet is a thrilling and passionate story of a peaceful people's influence on the war and the tragic events that encircled the founding of Ohio's first settlement, Schoenbrunn. Tuscora Park is an exciting family outing or just a day of relaxation and has earned a state-wide reputation as an affordable place to come for family fun and entertainment. The park includes three pools, year-round picnic pavilion and outdoor shel©TIMES-REPORTER PAT BURK ters, vintage amusement rides, miniature golf, and much more, surrounded by our beautiful green hillsides and shade trees. Located just outside Historic Zoar Village on the Ohio & Erie Scenic Byway and the Ohio and Erie Towpath Trail.

Truly a one-of-a-kind place, the Warther Museum and Gardens offers incredible carvings done by the World’s Master Carver, Ernest “Mooney” Warther, Button House of 73,000 buttons, 5,000 point arrowhead collection, a working knife shop, and a gift shop featuring the exclusive Warther’s cutlery. Ernest Warther carved steam engines made of ebony and ivory that are considered the World’s finest, including an eight-foot carving of the Lincoln Funeral Train – the largest ivory carving in the world with over 11,000 pieces carved out of solid ivory. Just around the corner is John’s Vacuum Cleaner and Sweeper Museum, with the history of the vacuum cleaner beginning before electricity was invented. The Auman Television and Radio Museum lets you enjoy the sights and sounds of years gone by as you experience two of our greatest pastimes, radio and television, from their beginnings. The museum has on display mechanical televisions from the 1920’s and 30’s, a 1939 RCA TV from the New York World’s Fair, Marconi’s first TV from 1938, the first color TV (1954) and many, many more. Visitors can view numerous games, toys and comic books relating to the very early shows of the 1940’s and 50’s, along with props from movies and TV shows. American Gas Pump Heaven Ohio offers much more than gasoline pumps – it’s a treasure trove of Americana and automobilia! This museum displays over 50 vintage gas pumps (1907 to 1962), tons of classic 20th century road signs and an awesome working nickelodeon. Return to an opulent time by visiting the J. E. Reeves Victorian Home and its adjoining Carriage House Museum. The mansion, and former residence of prominent Dover industrialist, Jeremiah E. ©Andy Donaldson Photography Reeves, is a 17 room Victorian home, topped by a third floor ballroom, and has been carefully restored by the Historical Society to its original turn-of-thecentury. The beautiful family furnishings can be viewed as guests take a guided room by room tour of the home. One last stop in Dover will bring you to the Toland-Herzig Famous Endings Museum… a place that started back in 1996 when John Herzig's hobby was collecting autographs. John had requested the autographed photo of legendary boxer Joe Louis and received a package containing MORE than just the photograph – it contained the program from the fighter's 1981 funeral ceremony. That event sparked John's interest in famous funerals, and began his collection, currently numbering some 1,500 pieces… considered the largest known collection of its kind! w w w. t r a v e l t u s c . c o m | 5 ATTRACTIONS What to SEE and what to DO in Tuscarawas County 2016 Visit our museums, monuments, and memorials, recreation and outdoor sites, or arts and entertainment venues.
