About Old Washington, OH

Old Washington was originally called Washington, and under the latter name was platted in 1805. The village was incorporated in 1829, soon after the National Road was extended to that point. In July 1863, Old Washington was the site of a small engagement during the course of Morgan's Raid. In the course of their campaign through Ohio, the Confederate raiders appeared in several Guernsey County villages, including Old Washington, where they wreaked havoc before being caught by Union cavalry. The three Confederate dead are buried at the cemetery in Old Washington.
