Canal Winchester

Few communities in central Ohio have a history as closely tied to canal transport as Canal Winchester. Its name recalls the Winchester Canal, which connected the settlement to the Ohio & Erie Canal and helped bring trade into this farming district during the 19th century. Today, the compact historic downtown along High Street retains the scale of an older canal-era town, with independent shops, restaurants and community events. Canal Winchester is also home to the National Barber Museum and Hall of Fame, an unusual collection devoted to the craft and history of barbering.
