E.E. Ward Explores Fun in Columbus – German Village

Are you planning to move to Columbus? Want to know what is fun in Columbus? As a certified mover in Columbus, Ohio, E.E. Ward would like to explore what this multi-cultural city could offer you. Best known as a historic neighborhood in south of downtown Columbus, German Village is one of the most diverse landmarks. It was settled largely by German immigrants in the mid-1800s. In the community, houses were constructed in typical German architecture style, streets were paved with traditional bricks, and people care very much about maintaining their quality of life. With traditional German events, German Village takes the German experience beyond their architecture and transforms you into your own piece of Germany.
