our pioneer ancestors’ way of life. If you are
taking a walk around town, take a peek at
this piece of tangible history.
Apple orchard
A few years ago, the Groveport Parks
Department planted 30 apple trees in the
Palm Pond area of Heritage Park. The
trees offer a variety of apples including
Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Wealthy,
Haralred, Gravenstein, Honey Crisp, Red
Delicious, Zestar, Gala, and McIntosh. The
hope is to use some of the apples from
these trees at future Apple Butter Day festivals.
Visit the orchard and check out the
trees’ growth.
Sharp’s Landing building
From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. get a glimpse of
the area’s Ohio and Erie Canal past by visiting
the Sharp’s Landing building across
Wirt Road from the log house and Heritage
Park. The Groveport Heritage Society
reconstructed the 62x21 foot, one story,
brick, 19th century canal era building from
original materials. The building is believed
to have been used as a smokehouse, bakery,
and ice house. It sat along the Ohio
and Erie Canal in what was once Sharp’s
Landing at the corner of Rohr and Pontius
roads. The building represents the commercial
life that once operated along the
canal.
Groveport Heritage Museum
The Groveport Heritage Museum, located
in Groveport Town Hall, 648 Main St.,
features photographs, newspapers, maps
and historical artifacts of Groveport’s history.
