Plan your visit​ at Fort Laurens 

Located just moments from I- 77 in Bolivar, Ohio, Fort Laurens is a must-see destination for anyone with a thirst for history. Home of the Fort Laurens Museum, a park area, two picnic shelters, and a trailhead for the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail, this site is a nice addition to any day trip to the area. Its location is convenient to nearby Historic Zoar Village as well as shops, restaurants, museums, theaters, gardens, and wineries. There is something for everyone in your family to enjoy.
