Forest, OH

Forest is a small Ohio farming town of about 1,300 people in Hardin County, connected by US Route 309 and State Route 67. It's about 50 miles north of Columbus via US Route 23, which drivers reach by heading east 15 miles from town. The area is classic rural Ohio farmland with limited EV charging, so plan stops in larger towns. The town's grain elevator still towers over everything, serving as both a landmark and symbol of its agricultural roots.
