Baymont Inn - Logan is located in Rempel's Grove, a
place with a long history in the hearts of Logan natives. Back in the 1840's, the site was
used as a community picnic ground. It was easily accessible from downtown Logan by canal
boat for a 15 cent fare. Before the Civil War, these woods were known for hotly debated
political gatherings, huge ox roasts, and railroad fund raising rallies.
After the Civil War, local war hero and capitalist Col. Ferdinand Rempel, the City of
Logan, and the Hocking Valley Railroad, hosted a reunion for over 1,000 Union veterans at
this location, with then Governor (and later President) William McKinley in attendance. It
was considered an ideal location because excursion trains could be brought in from four
directions.

Today, with the addition of the Baymont Inn, The Olde Dutch Restaurant, Olde Dutch Ice Cream Shoppe,
The Logan
Antique Mall, The Hocking Hills Craft Mall, the Hocking Hills Canoe Livery,
Adventure Golf at Rempel's Grove, the Midwest Glassware Outlet and Arby's Restaurant,

Hocking Hills. Visit The Olde Dutch Restaurant for a delicious home-style
