History of McCutchenville
McCutchenville was first planned and settled in 1829. The community got its name from Joseph McCutchen. He was the person who originally owned the land where the town was built.
Early Days and the Post Office
A post office has been open in McCutchenville since 1833. This allowed people to send and receive mail easily. It helped the community grow and stay connected.
The McCutchen Overland Inn
In 1829, Joseph McCutchen also built a special building called the McCutchen Overland Inn. An "inn" was like a hotel where travelers could rest. This inn was an important stop for stagecoaches traveling along the Harrison Trail. Stagecoaches were horse-drawn carriages that carried people and mail.
Over time, the Inn changed. It became a hotel and then an apartment building. Eventually, it started to fall apart.
Restoring the Historic Inn
In 1964, the Wyandot County Historical Society bought the old Inn. A historical society is a group that works to preserve old buildings and stories. They spent three years carefully restoring the building. They wanted it to look like it did when it was a stagecoach stop.
The restored Inn was then opened as a museum about stagecoaches. It's very special because it's one of only two original stagecoach inns left in the entire state of Ohio.
