There’s nothing like an old school chocolate shop to make you nostalgic for the good old days. Here in Ohio, we’re fortunate to have a candy shop that’s been around since 1840. Wittich’s Candy Shop in Circleville is the oldest confectionary in the state—and the nation. Few people realize just how special this humble candy shop and soda fountain is. If you live in Ohio and have yet to experience the homemade goodies from Wittich’s, you’re truly missing out.
