• The Ewing House, home to Thomas Ewing, a United States Senator and Secretary of the Interior under President William Henry Harrison, who earlier in his law career defended Dr. Samuel Mudd against charges of conspiracy in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln
• The Mumaugh memorial, which some say it was built in 1805 by an Italian wine merchant, Mr. Giani (pronounced "Guy Anna" by the local residents), and others say was built somewhat later by Michael Garaghty, a dry goods merchant. Either way, the structure is one of the oldest standing brick structures in Ohio, and the site of the first Roman Catholic church services held in the city.

In between these "main attractions," you will see (and hear about) many stately private homes and beautiful churches on your tour. There are at least half a dozen other Federal and Greek-Revival residences on Wheeling, Main, and High Streets that were built between 1830 and 1840. The second half of the tour, which takes you down Wheeling Hill, also takes you past St. John's Episcopal Church. St. John's was built in 1848, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As you admire St. John's, be sure to look up at the slits in the turrets. These were put in place as a means of defense through which archers could shoot. We doubt that there was ever a need to fire an arrow onto Broad Street, but you can appreciate the Tudor architectural detail, which is also carried out beautifully in the interior of the church.

Perhaps a good place to conclude your walking tour is at the bandstand at Zane Square. Turn left at Broad and Wheeling. Then have a seat, rest a bit, and admire the statue of General Sherman and the Civil War canon that was Sherman's gift to the people for their sacrifices and support during the War. And if you happen to be in Lancaster on a summer weekend, you might want to time the end of your tour to coincide with one of the live concerts held in the bandstand on Friday evenings.
