The rolling hills of east central Ohio give the Carroll County region a source of natural beauty that has long been appreciated by visitors and life long residents' alike.

The region offers a diverse range of vacationing ideas from cultural events and historical sites to local fairs and recreational facilities. Visitors don't go back to yesteryear; they visit the present with respect for the past. Tradition is a habit that burns deep in the county.

Carroll County has a wonderful place in Ohio history that starts in the early 1800's. Carrollton, the county seat, was platted in 1815 and is the home of the Fighting McCook Family of Civil War fame. Major Daniel McCook and his nine sons became famous for their bravery on the battlefields. Their home is now a museum.

Every fall a festival is held at the Algonquin Mill Farm, just south of Carrollton. The mill has been restored and is the headquarters of the Carroll County Historical Society. Over 100,000 visitors a year enjoy the event.

The Atwood Area Fall Festival at Atwood Lake Park near Dellroy provides activities for all ages. Visitors enjoy arts and crafts, entertainment, guided nature hikes, and a Civil War reenactment. Carroll County is a short drive from Canton, Akron Cleveland, Columbus, Pittsburgh and Wheeling.
