Corning, OH

Tucked into the rolling hills of southern Perry County, Corning is a quiet village sitting right along Sunday Creek. Originally founded as a railroad and coal-mining town in the late 1800s, it has settled into a peaceful, rural community where roads curve gently through the valley. The wooded ridges wrap around the neighborhood, giving the town a cozy, secluded feel while keeping neighbors close.
