The History of the Bowen House


The Bowen House is a community center in Logan, Ohio. It is located in the Hocking Hills region at 196 N. Market Street.The community center focuses on arts and culture around the area. Southeast Ohio is often only known because of The Ohio University, but the Bowen House proves there is much more here to offer.


The Bowen House opened its doors over 170 years ago. It was the original home of John Rochester back in the 1800s. His daughter Lucy married Charles Bowen and that is where it picked up its name.

The reason why I have created this blog is to highlight some of the information about the Bowen House. It has shows, galleries, community gatherings and more.
