New Ohio Group Tour Destination Unveils Fam Trip Sept. 21 – 24

Columbiana County in Ohio is a new destination for tour groups through the efforts of its newly-formed tourism bureau, the Columbiana County Tourism Community. The bureau has brought together all of the tourism offices and chambers in the county in a collective effort to present the attractions, restaurants, hotels and many festivals of the county as a scenic new travel destination.

Columbiana County is located on the eastern edge of Ohio, bounded on the east by the state of Pennsylvania, on the south by the Ohio River, and is just minutes away from several interstates for easy travel access.

Groups who visit Columbiana County Ohio can take Salem's historic underground railroad trolley tour

Tour-stop highlights include dinner theater, shopping, historical tours & sites, museums, restored mansions, large farmers markets, festivals, a boat tour, the underground railroad, one of the last of the great American diners, and more.

Pleasing views of plateaus, ridges, hills, valleys, forests, rivers, streams, pastures and covered bridges decorate the landscape of the county, making it a beautiful place to visit and sightsee from your tour bus.

For more information and travel itineraries, contact CCTC at 330-382-1404 or email discovercolumbianacounty@gmail.com.

The organization is also organizing a free fam tour, “All Around the County” for senior group leaders coming up September 21st through the 24th.  See details below:
