What it’s like
The place. Rushville is a very small village in Fairfield County, Ohio, where almost everyone owns the home they live in. Household incomes run below the county's, and few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and plenty of snow mixed into a fairly wet year, while July brings warm days.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, professional and business services, and manufacturing close behind. Across Fairfield County, some of the largest workplaces are Fairfield Medical Center, Pickerington Local Schools and Anchor Hocking. Unemployment in the county has eased compared with a year earlier, and the county has added jobs.
Things to do. Winegardner Village, an archaeological site, lies in or beside town. A longer drive brings you to Hocking Hills State Park, a protected area of woods and trails, and to Buckeye Lake State Park, a protected area beside the reservoir of the same name. Perry State Forest is another protected area a longer drive away.
