On April 19th,
2010 the National Park Service listed the Logan Historic District on
the National Register of Historic Places. The nomination put
forward by the Ohio State Historic Preservation Officer includes text,
pictures and maps describing the history of the original village of
Logan and early additions to the east and north, and the history and
architecture of the buildings in the District. Links to this
information are at the bottom of this page.
Logan
Town Center sponsored the nomination, with major funding from the City
of Logan. Members of the Hocking County Historical Society and
Logan Town Center volunteered their knowledge of the community and many
hours to help with the research. However, the greatest credit for
the nomination belongs to our historic preservation consultants -- Judy
Williams and Nathalie Wright, both of Columbus, Ohio.
