Lewisville

Ohio's ghost towns are canal-era villages and coal and iron towns from the state's industrial first act.

Canal Lewisville is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Coshocton County, Ohio, in the United States. As of the 2020 census it had a population of 417.

The on-the-ground condition of Lewisville is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Lewisville is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times. The mapped point for Lewisville is roughly 40.2989, -81.8403 — use it as a starting point and cross-reference a current topographic map before leaving pavement.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
