Travel and tourism is a big industry in Zanesville and Muskingum County. In terms of employment, tax dollars and economic ripple effect, visitors have a very positive impact on our county every year. Tourism is definitely an important economic development strategy for this community.
Plus, we are proud of our community and love to share all of its positive assets with our guests! So thankfully, its time for another summer travel season which brings thousands of visitors to our area. They come to do things like visit the Wilds or the Longaberger Homestead, compete in softball tournaments and rowing regattas, tour museums and historic sites, explore our state parks and artist's studios, and relax at area wineries and restaurants.
And all that is just for starters. The diversity of things to do and see in Muskingum County is remarkable. We are also now home to an impressive alpaca ranch, where high-end breeding stock are reared as part of an effort to grow the domestic supply of and market for alpaca fiber. You can still buy pottery made in the local area for centuries and tour the now-modern production facilities, or join the Pottery Lovers for their annual exhibition and sale of antique art pottery. We have bridges ranging from covered structures to the famous Y Bridge, which spans the Muskingum River. The river itself is a destination for recreational boaters and is home to the Lorena Sternwheeler, a 100 passenger vessel that offers rides throughout the summer.
One post here cannot possibly capture the variety and diversity of attractions and activities that a visit to Muskingum County can offer. Check out our visitor website, www.visitzanesville.com, for a complete list of things to do and places to stay.
