Did you know?
Often called the "Crossroads of America," Cambridge is found nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains along I-70 and I-77.
National attention is gained annually as visitors flock to enjoy the Dickens Victorian Village and the Official Paul Bunyan Show, not to mention numerous other special events - such as Ohio's only outdoor passion play, the Living Word Outdoor Drama.
The crown jewel of the county though, is the abundance of recreational opportunities. Hunting, fishing, camping and golfing are centerpieces for the region. Ohio's largest state park, Salt Fork, and the state's third largest lake, Seneca Lake, are found within Guernsey County. Did we also mention that the Wilds, a 9,000-acre one-of-a-kind conservations facility is also located here for seasonal safari tours? And it's "All-Aboard " the Byesville Scenic Railway for a 1.5 hour trip back in history to the days when coal mining was king in Guernsey County.
The Hopalong Cassidy Museum, dedicated to our hometown boy, William Boyd who portrayed the beloved cowboy, is located along our quaint main street. Not far from town is the John and Annie Glenn Historic Site detailing the famed astronaut's life. And don't forget the historic National Road (Route 40) running through the heart of Guernsey County that features specialty shops, antiques, a museums and glass factories.
