Downtown Chillicothe
Chillicothe Downtown Historic District
The historic district of Ohio's first capital, where Federal and Victorian buildings house cafes, antique shops and the Ross County Heritage Center.
Centered on the intersection of Paint Street and Main Street, the district preserves many 19th-century Federal and Victorian brick buildings, and murals on street corners tell the city's history. The Ross County Heritage Center museum displays Hopewell artifacts and objects from the statehood era. Nearby Yoctangee Park has a lake and an arts center in an old water pumping station. Half a day is enough to see it, and it is a good place to schedule lunch and rest between the earthworks.
