GRANVILLE

FOUNDED 1805 | POPULATION 5,709 | COUNTY Licking

A quaint, New England-style community about 35 miles east of Columbus, Granville is known for its distinctive architecture and small-town charm.

A surprisingly large assortment of specialty shops, dining options, historic inns and bed-and-breakfasts line the main street, while Bryn Du Mansion, overlooking a 52-acre estate on the east side of town, hosts summer polo matches and the annual Taste of Granville event. A 14-mile bike trail runs through the village, and four golf courses are within a 10-mile drive. Granville is also home to Denison University, a small, residential, liberal arts college.
