The Hanby House 160 W. Main St. 614-891-6289, 1-800-600-6843 www.hanbyhouse.org Be sure to plan a tour of the Hanby House, recognized by the National Park Service as a significant Underground Railroad site. It was home to Bishop William Hanby, co-founder of Otterbein University, an abolitionist and a “conductor” on the Underground Railroad. His son, Benjamin, was the composer of more than 80 folk songs and hymns including “Darling Nelly Gray,” a popular song of the Civil War era, and Christmas favorite “Up on the Housetop.” The house is one of three United Methodist Heritage Landmarks in Ohio. A video presentation introduces the story of the family. Visitors are led through five rooms of antiques from the mid- to late 1800s, including Ben’s original flute, desk and sheet music. The kitchen garden, maintained by the Westerville Garden Club, features plants that were used for household purposes between 1850 and 1890.

Open weekends May-September from 1-4 p.m. Christmas Open House is the first Tuesday in December and the following weekend. Groups and private tours welcomed March-December by appointment. See www.hanbyhouse. org for family history, calendar and contact information.

Historic Uptown Westerville 614-794-0401 www.visitwesterville.org Once known as The Dry Capital of the World, Westerville and its Uptown District have come a long way since the days of Prohibition. Uptown has retained its beauty and historic charm while gaining a vibrant mix of unique shops, restaurants, coffee houses, art galleries and convenient service businesses all within an easy stroll from nearby off-street parking. Uptown is home to the 72,000-square-foot Westerville Public Library, Otterbein University, The Hanby House Museum and The Temperance Row Historic District. Visit soon to enjoy this unique blend of old and new.

Temperance Row Historic District Vicinity of Park, Grove, Walnut and University streets 614-794-0401 The homes on Temperance Row were built in the early 1900s by the leaders of the Anti-Saloon League of America, who brought their headquarters to Westerville, known for years thereafter as the “Dry Capital of the World.” These crusaders were not only successful in achieving national Prohibition, but also in constructing some of the most architecturally interesting homes of their day and our own. The district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its significance in local, state, national and architectural history.
