Friends of Beaver Creek State Park

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 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 Beaver & Sandy 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 barn.

Experience life in a circa 1830 Ohio village 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 Beaver and Sandy Canal, the only mode of mass transit for people or goods prior to the railroads.  Walk the trails of Beaver Creek forest, have a picnic, or just watch Beaver Creek flow by.
