CVS - Midnight Location

Lancaster became an important canal town where the Hocking feeder canal joined the Ohio Erie Canal. Lancaster also was known as having one of the oldest mills in the state. Surrounded by rich farmland, farmers first sent their milled wheat in the form of flour south over Zane's Trace to the Ohio River and then on to New Orleans. This trip became even faster when the canal came to town. Today, Lancaster has more than 36,000 residents. Many of these people have found employment in various glass production companies, including Anchor Hocking Glass Company and the Lancaster Glass Corporation, located in the area, while other residents make the 39 mile commute to Columbus each day. Lancaster also has a growing tourist industry. Among the city's more prominent sites are the Sherman House, birthplace of William Tecumseh Sherman, the Georgian Museum, the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio, and the Glass Museum of Ohio.-
