Oak Hill, OH

Tucked into the rolling hills of southern Jackson County, Oak Hill is a quiet, close-knit village of about 1,400 residents with a rich history. In the 1800s, waves of Welsh immigrants settled across the region, building farms, brick churches, and strong community ties. That unique heritage is still celebrated today at the Welsh-American Heritage Museum, housed in a historic 1868 church right in town.
