The village is located along U.S. Route 40 which is also known as the National Pike or National Road. It was the first east–west highway constructed in the U.S. Each year a large festival is held along the road in May stretching from parts of Maryland into Ohio. Scenery Hill often features entertainment and other exhibits during the event. Many of the residential and commercial buildings in the community are part of the Scenery Hill Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The community was initially named for Robert Hill, an early settler.[1] The Hill family is recognized for building Hill's Tavern (now known as Century Inn), between 1788 and 1794.
Hill's Tavern was constructed in the 18th century and is a historic centerpiece of the village. A fire on August 17, 2015 heavily damaged it.[2] Many antique shops occupy the old homes along the main thoroughfare. Scenery Hill is home to small Lutheran and Methodist congregations. Many family names have existed in the region since the 18th century. Scenery Hill is surrounded by sheep and cattle farms.
Scenery Hill is located at an elevation of 1388 ft (423 m).[3]
