New Rumley rewards anyone who appreciates quiet country living with a real sense of story. Best known as the birthplace of Gen. George Armstrong Custer, the community keeps its history close at the evocative Custer Monument, cared for by the Ohio History Connection, where interpretive panels and a stately memorial make for a meaningful afternoon visit.
Families value practical convenience as much as heritage. Students are served by the Harrison Hills City School District, which offers modern classrooms, competitive athletics, and arts opportunities. New Rumley sits within Harrison County; when you need records, permits, or local services, the county government provides helpful online resources.
