What it’s like

The place. Norwich is a village in Muskingum County, Ohio, and it is very small, with one of the quieter settings in the county. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. The year brings a good deal of rain and melted snow, so the seasons are often damp.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in shops and retail. Manufacturing and the building trades also employ people here. Few residents work from home, so most people commute to their jobs.

Things to do. The John and Annie Glenn Museum is a short drive away. The Wilds, a zoo, and Blue Rock State Park, a protected area, are both a longer drive away.
