Licking County, Ohio

Licking County is a stone’s throw from Columbus in the center of Ohio. This place has a little bit of everything. Licking is notable for its thriving arts scene. Funky galleries. Live music. Theater productions. You name it.
Newark is the county seat, which is home to one of the most impressive Native American earthworks you’ll ever see. We’re talking about massive mounds built over 2,000 years ago. It’ll blow your mind.
Nature lovers have plenty to explore too. Blackhand Gorge State Nature Preserve is a local favorite. The county’s also known for its quirky attractions. Like the world’s largest basket. Yeah, you read that right. A seven-story office building shaped like a basket.
