Kenyon College is a beautiful historic campus which was designed primarily as a walking campus. The main thoroughfare is a gravel surfaced pathway known as Middle Path, which connects the residential buildings on the north end of campus to the south academic buildings. Middle Path passes through the Village of Gambier where the Post Office, Village Market, local restaurants and businesses are located.
