If you like the nostalgic sound of train whistles in the night, you'll love the Blackfork Inn. We're in the heart of Loudonville's one-time railroad district, where the station, the stockyard and the feedmills used to be. Both of our buildings were built by railroad men, and there are other relics of the railroad era, as well, including the opera house, just down the street, where big-name stars once played, in the days when theater troups used trains, not buses, to take their shows on the road. It's called the Ohio Theater now, and you can take in a movie there every night of the week. Loudonville's rail traffic has dwindled in recent years, to two or three a night, but guests tell us they enjoy the soothing clickety-clack of the trains rumbling through. For those who don't, earplugs are provided on the bedside tables. History buffs love our local museum, which traces the town's past, from Indian times to the present, and the library, which is a Genealogist's dream. Visitors take comfort in our pretty Main Street, where the shops are locally owned and the red-brick Victorian storefronts look much as they did a century ago. Visitors can learn about the area's natural history at Mohican State Park where park rangers put on weekend lectures and nature walks. Visitors can also thrill to the exploits of Ohio's favorite folk hero at the Johnny Appleseed Outdoor Drama, June to September.
