Perry County, located southeast of Columbus, is criss-crossed by numerous State Highways.   Interstate 70 lies just a few miles north of the County Line.  This makes Perry County, poised on the edge of the “Outer-Outer belt” region of central Ohio, an ideal location for future growth coupled with property affordability.

Attractions in Perry County include the Crooksville/Roseville National Ceramic Museum , Wayne National Forest & Perry State Forest (both featuring  Horse Trails, ATV & hiking trails), Perry County Historical Society Museum ,   Buckeye Lake State Park,  three covered bridges,  several round barns,  and Monuments to Januarius McGahan  & General Phillip Sheridan.   The villages of Somerset in the north and Shawnee in the south are full of historically-significant architectural structures.

Agriculture predominates in the northern half of the County, while the southern portion is hill country and a favorite destination for hunting and other outdoor recreations.  The Crooksville area with good clay deposits still has several ceramic industries in operation, including:  PetroWare, Beaumont Pottery,  & Heritage Stoneware. There is a Hocking College branch campus located in New Lexington.
