The Big Walnut Community--encompassing Sunbury, Galena and the surrounding rural area--is one of the fastest growing communities north of Columbus. Located only a half-hour away from the center of Columbus, the towns are picturesque and feature a mix of new and old buildings. Farming, light industry and commercial enterprises employ many of the residents while others commute to Columbus.
Education is provided by Big Walnut Local Schools and is comprised of five buildings, including a new high school. Numerous churches offer a variety of religious opportunities. Community amenities include a new community library facility, a public skating rink, and golf courses. Hoover Reservoir and Alum Creek State Park provide recreation for the entire family.
The chamber of commerce, local booster and service groups provide many annual community events for residents and tourists. Visitors to the area enjoy the numerous antique and craft shops surrounding the public squares.
