Customer Reviews
Very well researched book with tons of pictures. The Village, as we know it, was a poor area settled by German settlers. Since the 1970's it's become a trendy area of Columbus. Quaint cobbles stone streets and narrow alleys. This book gives a comprehensive history of an important old neighborhood of downtown Columbus. Gives insights of how Columbus grew and of how German immigrants became the backbone of Central Ohio.I have another book from this series and highly recommend all of them. Especially if you enjoy history.
