Newark, Ohio

 

With a bustling downtown rich in history and the arts, Newark is experiencing a revitalization like no other.

 
 

Sip a latte on a sun-dappled patio just below a hip loft apartment; spend an afternoon browsing the latest art exhibit at any number of galleries; beat the rush for a peck of peaches at one of Ohio’s largest covered farmer’s markets.

 
 

Rainy day? Newark museums have you covered with a gamut of hands-on STEM activities including a 30-foot, 4K projection SciDome planetarium to the more traditional museums honoring the glass making past, the military past and the frontier beginnings of Newark.  A seamless marriage of history, culture and the arts with a distinct nod toward the future, Newark is a place where great things are happening--and it shows in a tangible sense of community pride.
