10 Abandoned Places in Ohio I Bet You’ve Never Heard Of!

10 Abandoned Places in Ohio I Bet You’ve Never Heard Of!. Ohio is often associated with busy cities, highways, and familiar Midwestern towns. But far from the main roads, there are abandoned places that most people have never heard of—and many locals rarely talk about. In this video, we explore 10 abandoned places in Ohio that feel forgotten by time, hidden in plain sight across rural landscapes, forests, and quiet backroads.
These locations are not famous tourist ruins or viral urban exploration spots. They are schools, towns, industrial sites, and communities that slowly faded away due to economic shifts, population decline, or changing industries. Some still hold traces of daily life, while others are being reclaimed by nature, leaving behind eerie silence and unanswered questions.
This video is about discovery, not exaggeration. Each place featured has a real story rooted in Ohio’s history, revealing how quickly a place can disappear once people move on. As you move through these locations, you begin to see a different side of America—one shaped by quiet collapse rather than sudden disaster.
If you’re fascinated by abandoned places, forgotten history, and the hidden corners of the United States, this journey through Ohio’s overlooked ruins is one you won’t want to miss.
