Logan Historic District

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.
