Destination Learning celebrates the educational opportunities available in Tuscarawas County, Ohio for homeschool groups and traditional students. History sites come alive with hands-on experiences and students of all ages will love exploring our parks and trails.
Two National Historic Landmarks (The Dennison Railroad Depot Museum and Historic Zoar Village) along with Ohio’s only Revolutionary War Fort (Fort Laurens) and the site of Ohio’s first church and school (Historic Schoenbrunn Village) showcases the significant contributions Tuscarawas County has made to Ohio history.
Our entertainment and fine arts scene challenges students to explore their creative side. Various classes and exhibits are available at the Tuscarawas Center for the Arts and stories come to life at the Performing Arts Center at Kent State University at Tuscarawas, the Ohio Star Theater, the Little Theater, or at Ohio’s oldest outdoor drama, Trumpet in the Land.
It has been my observation that the happiest of people, the vibrant doers of the world, are almost always those who are using - who are putting into play, calling upon, depending upon-the greatest number of their God-given talents and capabilities.
