Loudonville straddles the Ashland-Holmes county line on the Black Fork of the Mohican River and had 2,786 residents in 2020. Canoe liveries along the river earned it the nickname Canoe Capital of Ohio, and Mohican State Park and the Mohican-Memorial State Forest lie just outside town. The 2010 census counted 1,071 households in 1,174 housing units and a median age of 43.
River cabins, village houses and farm buildings all have overhead doors that live with valley damp. If one of them jams or throws a cable, phone us 24/7; the goal is same-day service on most calls, often within 1 hour.
In a damp river valley, a galvanized steel door with a tough factory finish lasts longest. We install Wayne Dalton, Clopay and Amarr doors, insulated for a garage used as a workshop, and pair them with Chamberlain or LiftMaster openers. See our door installs and our opener installs.
Delaware Nation peoples lived here first. The first white settlement came in 1810, when Stephen Butler built a single log cabin on the Black Fork of the Mohican River. In 1814 Thomas Jelloway and James Loudon Priest, the town's namesake, laid out the village with twelve lots. The town cemetery had its first burial in 1815, the Loudonville post office has operated since 1820, and the village was incorporated on March 27, 1850.
For most of the 20th century, from 1913 to 1996, Loudonville was home to a manufacturer of motorcycle sidecars, hearses, ambulances and intercity and city-transit coaches, which switched to war goods during World War II. Telephone service arrived in 1899, and the local phone company employed a young Charles Kettering, the inventor born in the area, who came back to speak in the village on August 27, 1944. The population grew from 516 in 1860 to 2,523 in 1950 and has stayed close to that since.
Many village houses still have the detached garages of that era, while newer homes on the edges of town have attached ones. Older doors often run on extension springs, and we add safety cables and replace worn springs in pairs.
Loudonville sits where the Black Fork winds through the hills, and the valley holds moisture. Damp air rusts springs and hinges faster, swells wood doors and makes the bottom seal stick when it freezes.
A yearly tune-up cleans and lubricates the hardware and checks the balance so the door is ready for winter. If your door stops halfway in the cold, leave it and give us a call.
Mohican State Park covers 1,110 acres along the Clear Fork of the Mohican River south of the village, on the south shore of Pleasant Hill Lake, and is surrounded by the 4,525-acre Mohican-Memorial State Forest. The Clear Fork cuts a narrow gorge through the park before joining the Black Fork to form the Mohican River. The park opened in 1949 as Clear Fork State Park and took the Mohican name in 1966. It is open all year for camping, hiking, boating, mountain biking and fishing, and each June it hosts the Mohican MTB 100 race.
In town, three sites are on the National Register of Historic Places: the Ohio Theatre, built in 1909 as the City Hall and Opera House, which showed its first movie, Neptune's Daughter, in 1914; the 1856 home of Phillip J. Black; and the TJ and Sarah Bull House, a Greek Revival home from 1852. The Cleo Redd Fisher Museum on Main Street opened in 1974. The Loudonville Free Street Fair has run since 1876 and moved onto the village streets and Central Park in 1888, a car show has filled downtown every July since 2000, and the Mohican 5K has raised money for the bike path since 2009. Nuclear physicist Robert Bacher, one of the leaders of the Manhattan Project, came from Loudonville.
