As requested, Roseville is one of Ohio's most famous pottery towns. At the turn of the century, Ohio had three main names in pottery: Roseville, Rockwood, and Weller.

 

Interestingly, Roseville Pottery was only located in the village from 1892 until 1900, when it moved to Zanesville; the company closed their factory in Roseville in 1910 and survived until 1954.

Brush Pottery will soon be demolished using Clean Ohio funds.

 

 

Beats the hell out of Cygnet.  ;)

So THAT'S what it looks like.

Is this that town that supposedly has an airraid siren powered by an old German Messerschmidt engine? I refuse to go to that crazy siren forum posted here a few years back.

I wouldn't want to live there; I don't think I could stand the excitement!  :|

Since we are close to Halloween, Roseville is also home to the old Roseville prison (I believe it was a state prison). It is supposed to be one of the most haunted places in Ohio.

Nice pics.

Good Stuff....  I looked up Weller on google maps and it showed up as a point.  But there was no name of Weller on the map.  Does Weller still exist?
