The other night, Amy and I stopped by The Roscoe Boutique Motel after dinner to check on the property and make sure our guests were all set for the evening. We were snapping a few photos of our brand-new outdoor space when a couple of guests wandered out from the lobby. They were enjoying a few beverages and wanted to say hello.
These guests were here on an extended work trip, and after some friendly chatting, one of them asked: “So… is there anything to do around here?”
We laughed, smiled, and started listing off ideas. Within a few minutes, their eyes got a little wide — we may have overwhelmed them! It made us realize just how much there really is to do in Coshocton County.
So, whether you’re here for work, a weekend getaway, or just passing through, here’s a big list of activities, attractions, and events you can enjoy while you’re here.
