It’s Pretty Groovy in Granville, Ohio
History: Granville is an incorporated village in Licking County, Ohio, just east of the state capital. Historically, it was home to the indigenous tribe of Fort Ancients between 800 and 1200 AD, more than 400 years before European settlers took over the region. There is still an Indian Mound here, and it has added to the National Register of Historic Places. Granville Township was first surveyed in 1797. Welsh immigrants and transplants from New England settled here in the 1800s.
Denison University is one of the best liberal arts colleges in the nation. Some famous names attended Denison and spent their time in Granville: actors Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner went to DU along with Ohio State legend Woody Hayes.
