Southeast of Columbus, Ohio is the small suburb of Pickerington. Pickerington was founded in 1815 under the name Jacksonville, which was later changed to honor its founder, Abraham Pickering. Despite being 15 minutes away from Columbus, Pickerington masterfully retains its charming small town feel and elegance. The historic downtown is a walkable wonderland full of exquisite dining and shopping housed in old village cottages, with stylish scenery and green open space pulling it all together. Within Ohio, Pickerington is known as the “Purple City”, and the “Violet Capital of Ohio” for its many flowers and its yearly Violet Festival. Additionally, the Pickerington Village Pet Fest, Pickerington Village Mayfest, and the Picktown Palooza are just a few of the wonderful events you can attend when you rent an RV in Pickerington.
