Location

This Ohio handyman special is in Mansfield, a city located in Richland County. It is situated in the north-central part of the state and serves as the county seat. Population is approximately 46,000 people.

Mansfield has a rich history and is known for its industrial heritage. It experienced significant growth during the late 19th and early 20th centuries due to the discovery of large deposits of iron ore in the region. This led to the establishment of steel mills and other manufacturing industries, which contributed to the city’s economic prosperity.

One of the notable attractions in Mansfield is the Ohio State Reformatory, a former prison that is now a museum. It gained popularity after being featured in the film “The Shawshank Redemption.” The reformatory offers tours and various events throughout the year.

Mansfield is also known for its natural beauty, with several parks and recreational areas in the vicinity. The Mohican State Park, located just south of Mansfield, offers opportunities for hiking, camping, fishing, and other outdoor activities.
