Ohio is filled with stunning small towns across the state, destinations that offer a quiet beauty by letting the natural scenery, friendly atmosphere and unique attractions shine bright enough to draw you in and experience something you may not get in a bigger, bustling city.
According to a list compiled by AFAR, the "most charming small town" in all of Ohio is Yellow Springs, praised for its excellent outdoor recreation and "free-spirited liberal arts atmosphere."
Here's what the site had to say about the most charming small town in the state:
"If you get a distinctly bohemian vibe bouncing around the artisan-focused pottery shops, excellent bookstores, and internationally minded restaurants (Caribbean! Taiwanese Israeli Indian!) of this southwestern Ohio town, you have Antioch College to thank. The school has long been a hub for environmental activism and social justice — a sentiment that has spread throughout this town of 3,702. [...] To soak up the four seasons, tackle a cliff-side hiking trail at the 752-acre John Bryan State Park, keeping your eyes peeled for chimney swifts and red-tailed hawks, or pick up a leg of the multi-use Little Miami Scenic Trail, which runs for 78 miles and intersects with the Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve."
