Franklinton

About this neighborhood

Columbus's historical roots are firmly planted in Franklinton, Central Ohio's first settlement, and the downtown area, the seat of state government. It's the story of determined pioneers, devastating floods, a vision for a state capital rising from higher ground, and flourishing theatres, churches, businesses, and government buildings.
