You’ve taken the Living History Tour.  You’ve had lunch at the Warehouse Steak n’ Stein.  Your wife has posed for snapshots under the Whitewoman Street sign and disappeared into the Garden Gate

Now it’s time to send the kids for hand-dipped ice cream at the Candy Bouquet shop and slip away to every man’s favorite shop in Roscoe Village.

Of all the shops and exhibits in Roscoe Village, River Ridge Leather Company is the most faithful to the 19th-century history and heritage of Roscoe Village Ohio. 

And the shop is operated not by actors, but genuine craftsmen working every day to produce authentic goods with traditional methods.  

Dennis Knight and his journeyman apprentices man the shop daily Wednesday thru Sunday until June 1st. 

And no tour ticket is required to visit this authentic canal-era leather shop.   

Using only traditional hand tools and traditional leatherworking methods, River Ridge Leather Company produces extraordinary one-of-a-kind leather goods made entirely on the premises. 

You can find River Ridge Leather Company in the original James LeRetilley building next to Uncorked on Whitewoman Street.  It is truly the best place in Roscoe Village to see a master craftsman at work. 

It’s also the best place to ask what happened to the Inn and the hardware store.  Click here to visit River Ridge Leather Co. online.
