Guernsey Ohio

For a while I did some work in Cambridge, Ohio, county seat of Guernsey County, Ohio. Cambridge is a nice small town in East, Central Ohio. There are quite a few places to eat of which most that I have eaten at turned out very good.

Thanks Wikipedia

The Courthouse houses Probate and prothonotary documents. The deed books for this county are located in the county annex just down the street (look for Theo’s). In between these two buildings, down one of the alleys, is The Guernsey County Genealogy Society. The society collected a large selection of older books that were deteriorating in the other record rooms and can be useful if running out of options.

The main zone for shops and restaurants is about a mile away from the courthouse, but there is a handful down Main Street.

I left in the middle of November which is a very interesting time. The farmer’s market in front of the courthouse was closing down for the year and main street was getting a new look for the season. A group of individuals put up A Christmas Carol themed manikins all down main street for the holidays. It is a pretty neat sight to see.
