Half an hour east of Central Columbus sits a quaint, unique, fun town. Granville was created in the early 19th century by a group of settlers from Massachusetts and Connecticut that brought New England architecture and charm into their new home. Granville’s downtown area is filled with art galleries and vintage stores. The town is also home to Denison University and Alligator Mound, which is thought to be over 1,000 years old. Make your visit even more special by staying at the Buxton Inn, a hotel that has been in operation since 1812!
