Glenford, OH

Glenford is a tiny, peaceful village in central Ohio’s Perry County, home to fewer than 200 people. Originally built up around the railroad in the late 1800s, it has held onto its quiet, tight-knit rural feel. Everyday life moves at a relaxed pace, with families gathering at the local park and kids attending Glenford Elementary right in the community.
