Historic Downtown Millersburg Ohio
Exploring the historic Downtown Millersburg, Ohio.
#sponsored
One of my favorite things to do is explore Ohio’s small town main streets. I love their charm, their architecture and their unique shopping opportunities. When planning my recent road trip to Ohio’s Amish Country, I decided to skip my regular itinerary for a point a little west of my normal stopping ground, a place I never seemed to find the time to visit, Millersburg Ohio.
Millersburg is the county seat for Holmes County, and unlike some of the more “tourist areas” in the county, I found Millersburg full of history and a delightful step away from the touristy norm. Unique shops, very friendly people and quaint small town charm.
Below you will find a few highlights of my visit, as well as a few additional stops that should be on your radar. I hope you find the time in your travels to head a little west of Berlin (about 15 minutes) and visit this historic town located in Ohio’s Amish Country.
