CHRISTMAS CANDLELIGHT WALKING TOUR Granville, Ohio A small town with a big heart Located just 30 minutes outside of Columbus lies the little town of Granville, Ohio, known for its hospitality and camaraderie. As Bobbi and Jeff Noe from the Welsh Hills Inn say, “We have lived and worked in the Granville community for 35 years and have never grown tired of it. The people are friendly, intelligent, creative, kind-hearted, and philanthropic.” In typical Granville fashion, Bobbi and Jeff warmly welcome visitors to Welsh Hills Inn’s inviting rooms and gourmet meals every single day. Even on a short visit to town, that sense of community shines through. Stop into one of the locally owned restaurants – like Mai Chau for the freshest Vietnamese dishes or Palumbo’s Italian Market for casual Italian bites – to enjoy some great food and company. Pop by the Granville Farmers Market to see loads of friendly faces serving up homemade or homegrown wares. And if you’re extra lucky, celebrate with the locals at one of the town’s annual festivals, like the Hot Licks Blues Festival in September or the Christmas Candlelight Walking Tour in December. Lynda Ciminello, the director of sales and marketing at the Granville Inn , encapsulates a visit to Granville quite well: “For every guest, the best activity is to sit back and let Granville take care of you!” Coincidentally, that’s exactly what happens at the Granville Inn as well. Let the incredible staff cater your every need – from delicious dining to immaculate rooms and everything in between. The strong bonds of Granville extend to Denison University . This private college welcomes thousands of students each year, which makes quite an impact on the small town’s 6,000-person population. Set aside some time to stroll through the beautiful campus, visit the iconic Swasey Chapel , and take in the stunning views from The Hill .
