NEARBY ATTRACTION

Visiting Logan, OH

Considered the “gateway” to Hocking Hills, most visitors first and last stop before leaving the region is Logan, right off of US-33. While most visitors see Logan as an exit point or a spot to refuel, consider spending some time in this quintessential American city.

Historic District

Boasting unique shops and low-cost, "mom-and-pop" restaurants, Logan's Historic District features mid-1800s to early-1900s preserved buildings with a small-town feel.

Other Attractions

For adult-oriented activities, visit the Hocking Hills Moonshine Distillery or Winery, but all ages can enjoy their small but meaningful Children's Museum or even the Pencil Sharpener museum.
