The John Sherman Birthplace is a historic house museum at 137 East Main Street in Lancaster, Ohio. Also known as the Sherman House Museum, it is notable as the childhood home of John Sherman (1823-1900), politician and statesman and his older brother, General William T. Sherman (1820-1891), Union Army. The museum is primarily devoted to the General. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964, primarily for its association with John Sherman, namesake of the Sherman Antitrust Act. The museum is operated by the Fairfield Heritage Association, which offers tours seasonally.

WFCO

WFCO is a contemporary Christian radio station licensed to Lancaster, Ohio, broadcasting on 90.9 MHz FM, and is owned by River Radio Ministries.WFCO currently airs a variety of contemporary Christian music from the mid-2000s to today. Previously, the station aired classic Christian music from the 1970s, '80s, and '90s, and also aired Christian Talk and Teaching programs. WFCO began broadcasting in 1988, and initially operated only 12 hours a day, running 200 watts. WFCO was originally owned by Fairfield Christian Academy, and the station was known as "Fairfield's Christian Outreach". WFCO began 24-hour operations in the early 1990s. In 2002, WFCO moved to downtown Lancaster, added more local and musical programming and became known as "Peaceful 90.9 FM". In 2006, WFCO increased its power to 1,200 watts. In 2007, WFCO adopted the branding "Refreshing 90.9 FM". In 2013, the station began a more uniform schedule where most talk programs were in the morning hours and music was played in the afternoon and evening hours. One exception to this was WFCO's public affairs show Community Accent that aired live in the morning and replayed in the evening. The station also broadcast a variety of high school sports from area schools. This included everything from basketball, baseball, football, soccer, softball, volleyball to even one track meet a year. On November 1, 2019, River Radio Ministries announced the acquisition of WFCO from Lancaster Educational Broadcasting Foundation. The station was converted to River Radio's contemporary Christian "The River" format. The sale, at a price of $235,000, was consummated on February 4, 2020.
