Zanesville
Along the Muskingum River, east of the capital city of Columbus, sits the small community of Zanesville, Ohio. With a total land area of just 12 square miles, Zanesville is small but full of affordable single family homes on large lots. The Zanesville area is home to some of the largest pottery companies in Ohio, including the world famous J.B. Owens Pottery Company. In addition to pottery, the city is also known for its growing community of local artists that frequently line the streets of Downtown Zanesville to showcase the work at one of the city's many artist fairs.
