Newcomerstown volunteers created an entire, early 1900s town inside a 1915 building that formerly housed a Ford dealership and the Herco Factory. In 2009, the 23 storefronts opened to rave revues. Visitors can stop by the Miskimen Hardware Store, later known as the Eureka, which remains in business today; the village newspaper, formerly the Newcomerstown Eye and its old but still functional printing press; the old-time soda shop; town jail; shoe repair shop; fire department; the popular Baltimore Clothing Store and the Sam Douglas Saloon, which was literally axed by Carrie Nation during her temperance campaign.
