Welcome to Dresden, the best place from which to experience all Southeastern Ohio has to offer. You are just minutes away from history, fine dining, shopping and adventure.

Dresden is best known for being the birthplace of the world famous Longaberger Basket Company. We are roughly 5 minutes away from the Longaberger Homestead and all of its shopping and dining experiences.

If baskets are not your thing, a trip up to Amish country may be a little more your style. Berlin, Ohio with its old world goods and restaurants is just minutes away.  Long winding roads compete with horses and buggies make for a great day trip.

On the way to or from Amish country, make sure to round out your history fix by visiting Roscoe Village in nearby Coshocton. Sign up for a living history tour of this 19th century canal town and don't miss the horse drawn canal boat rides. Roscoe Village also hosts all different types of festivals and definitely has something for everyone.

Perhaps the greatest attraction that many people don't know about is The Wilds Animal Conservation Park near Zanesville. Sitting on 10,000 acres of reclaimed land, the Wilds is equal parts zoo and safari experience. Sunset open air tours are available to those who would like to get up close and personal to any number of exotic animals.

These are only a couple of the many things to do here in the area. Nearby Zanesville has a thriving art community and the Historic Y- Bridge, the only one of its type in the world. You can visit and tour a number of excellent local wineries such as Ravens Glenn or Stone Crest Vineyards. Of course, this is in addition to all that Dresden itself has to offer, including a number of festivals and other events. For a complete list of area events, click here.
