BUCYRUS, OH (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW) —October is the perfect time to explore Bucyrus, and the city is bursting with the colors, scents, and activities of fall. Whether you love cozy aromas, seasonal treats, a bit of history, or family-friendly outdoor fun, Bucyrus has something special to offer this autumn.
Pumpkin Picking and Farm Fun
No October is complete without a pumpkin (or two). The Pickwick Place is a must-visit for pumpkin hunting. Beyond the patch, the farm is a hub of autumn activity, especially on weekends. Visitors can navigate the seasonal corn maze, test their aim at the apple cannon, and enjoy wagon rides, making it a quintessential fall day trip for the entire family. While there, explore the market stalls for unique fall wares and locally grown produce.
Savor the Scents of Fall
Start your sensory adventure at Crossroads Country Candles factory store, where shelves are filled with autumn-inspired fragrances. The scent of “Pumpkin Spice” is a local favorite and captures the heart of the season. Beyond candles, the store also features seasonal décor to bring that cozy, fall feeling back home.
Sip the Flavors of the Season
Next, warm up with a visit to The Pelican Coffee House. Their seasonal drink menu is full of cozy flavors that pair perfectly with a crisp fall day. For a different kind of seasonal sip, check out the local craft breweries, like Arrogant Goat Brewing, for a taste of regional seasonal ales.
Step Into History
Take a step back in time with a tour of the Bucyrus Copper Kettle Works. Known for crafting handmade apple butter kettles, this historic stop is a true Bucyrus treasure — and a reminder that apple butter is one of fall’s sweetest traditions.
From farm fun and local festivals to scents, sips, and history, Bucyrus is the place to be this October.
