Chillicothe

Chillicothe sits on the Scioto River in southern Ohio, where the broad river valley meets the rolling foothills of the Appalachian Plateau. It was Ohio’s first state capital, serving from 1803 to 1810 and again from 1812 to 1816. The city is closely linked to Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, whose monumental earthen enclosures were built by Indigenous peoples around 2,000 years ago and are part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Museums, parks and the riverfront reinforce Chillicothe’s role as a cultural centre of the Scioto Valley. See how Chillicothe connects with southern Ohio by browsing webcams nearby.
