If you’re looking for your next great road trip weekend getaway, consider heading a little over two hours north to Licking County, named for the numerous salt licks that attracted herds of deer and buffalo. Encompassing 25 towns and five cities, the county is home to Denison University, The Longaberger Company (and the world’s largest basket building), historical sites, classic theaters, museums, an array of excellent eateries and breweries, arboretums, and The Newark Earthworks—the largest Native American earthworks in the nation.
