Finding the right childcare
in Byesville, Ohio

Byesville was the coal mining capital of southeastern Ohio, with 77 operating mines during the early 1900s and a boom-era parade of 150 coal trains rumbling through town daily, bound for Cleveland and Canada. The village honors its hard-won mining legacy through the Ohio Coal Miner memorial—sculpted by renowned artist Alan Cottrill—which stands at the historic train depot and bears the weight of 382 names, the miners lost to the deep mines of Guernsey County. Today, the rail line has been reimagined as the Byesville Scenic Railway, connecting visitors to the generations who built the region's economy from beneath the earth.
