Wonderland, Ohio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wonderland was formerly an upper-class resort community, situated just outside of the Columbus suburb of Gahanna, near a bend in Big Walnut Creek. It would be slowly abandoned over a period of years after the late 1920s. As recently as the mid-1990s there were still decaying roads and abandoned residential buildings; however, this land has been bought by the Port Columbus International Airport for future expansion, and has finally razed the remaining structures and fenced off the land. The only remaining reminder of this town is the Wonderland Church, on Friendship Drive, next to the interchange of Interstate 270 and Hamilton Road.
