The Loudonville / Perrysville / Mohican area boasts some of the most beautiful landscapes in all of Ohio. The area was settled in 1810 by three pioneers, James Loudon Priest, Stephen Butler and Caleb Chappel. Their vision in terms of town lots and streets still remains today as one of the friendliest and most generous towns, which has grown and thrived on their original dream.

Today, the Mohican Valley area represents the heart of central Ohio including the small town friendly local communities of Loudonville, Perrysville, Mt. Vernon, Millersburg, Hayesville and Nashville. The larger cities in the area within 30 miles of Mohican Country include Ashland, Wooster and Mansfield. The Mohican Valley is at the crossroads of 5 Ohio counties: Ashland, Knox, Holmes, Wayne and Richland. Easy access to Ohio's major interstate highways makes travel to Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati easy and quick.

The Mohican Valley is best known for its seasonal canoeing and camping along the Mohican River. Tourism is a major source of income for this area along with farming, printing and other service oriented industries which continue to grow and find excellent workers as well as property readily available for expansion.

Many Amish families reside in the area and add to Mohican's charm and history. Amish furniture, cooking and other fine crafts, bring interested tourists to this area from all over the world.

If you are looking to fulfill the American dream and live out in the beautiful country…or just live within a community of people who care about each other and their future, choose the Mohican Valley to relocate your home or business. It will be the best decision you've ever made!
