Historic Worthington

In 1803, before they left for unseen lands in “the west,” a group of families that made up the Scioto Company in western Connecticut and Massachusetts had already made a plan to come west and settle a new town.

Once they arrived, they put the things they valued most--church, school and library at the center of their dream town, Worthington, and included a “Publick Square” for a “green or parade.”

Now, over 200 years later Worthington still retains that classic design. The buildings and homes on this tour are a diverse collection of structures from the 1800s.
