Pioneer Village

Pioneer Village is located in Beaver Creek State Park, Columbiana County, Ohio 8 miles north of East Liverpool, Ohio; easily accessible from State Route 11 and State Route 7. The park is open from dawn to dusk all year. The village buildings are open to the public weekends between May 1 through October 31.

There are ten structures that represent Ohio history from its early pioneer days to the Victorian period. Center pieces of the village are a restored 1830s water powered grist mill and Sandy & Beaver canal lock. Ohio’s pioneer days are represented by log buildings that include; blacksmith shop, chapel, school house, cabin, and general store . The remainder of the village has a relocated 1870s covered bridge and the original 1875 William's homestead, with house and barn.

Experience life in a circa 1830 Ohio by walking through the village; imagining what it would like to learn in a one room log school house, attend church services at Vodrey Chapel, have your recently harvested corn or wheat ground at Gaston's grist mill, watch a blacksmith make every day necessities like nails, hooks, hinges, cooking utensils or live in a one room cabin, heated only by a fireplace. Imagine life along the Sandy and Beaver Canal, the only mode of mass transit for people and goods prior to the railroads. Walk the trails of Beaver Creek forest, have a picnic, or just watch Beaver Creek flow by.
