What it’s like
The place. Russells Point is a small village on the shore of Indian Lake, in Logan County, Ohio. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a typical home is worth a good deal less than many people would expect to pay in much of the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest; rain and melted snow fall through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, shops, professional and business services, and the building trades. Across Logan County, the largest workplaces include Honda Development & Manufacturing of America, the Transmission Manufacturing Plant - Ohio, and Mary Rutan Hospital. Job numbers across the county grew slightly last year, and the county's unemployment rate has been lower than it was a year earlier. Few people work from home, and the typical trip to work is a moderate one.
Things to do. Indian Lake, a reservoir right beside the village, is the natural center of life here, and the Great Miami River also runs in or beside town. The archaeological sites of Dunns Pond Mound and Lake Ridge Island Mounds are close by as well, and Zimmerman Kame, another archaeological site, is a short drive away. The Armstrong Air and Space Museum is a longer drive away for those who want a day trip.
