Licking County • March 25, 2025

​

Good morning, Licking County. The iconic columns of Granville's Avery-Downer House have stood witness to 182 years of history, and thanks to some timely community support, they'll continue to do so for generations to come. The Robbins Hunter Museum has completed crucial roof repairs after Hurricane Helene's unwelcome visit last September, preserving this 1842 Greek Revival treasure with period-appropriate materials. Mark your calendars for March 31 to celebrate this architectural milestone with fellow history enthusiasts.

Meanwhile, Licking County's real estate market is making headlines with a jaw-dropping $48 million in transactions in just five days. From modest homes to a $48.75 million data center property in New Albany, buyers are investing across the county. And in Thornville, there's still time to honor veterans on the new Memorial Day monument—but with the April 15 deadline approaching, families will want to submit those names soon.
