Winesburg Ohio

Located on Ohio Route 62 in North Eastern Holmes County, this historic little village that was settled in the early 19th century, is testament to the determination and industry of generations of farmers, merchants and craftsmen. They still exist and stand ready to welcome visitors from far and wide to enjoy their beautiful homes and quaint shops.

Winesburg can be found on a stretch of road that time seems to have forgotten. The road is like so many others with its usual cars and trucks and when visiting Winesburg, you can watch children play in their yards, while buggies slowly move by and mothers in dark dresses and white bonnets go about their daily activities. If you close your eyes and listen, you can hear the clip clop of horses and the rumble of wagon wheels as they move along.

The population of Winesburg has remained about the same over the last 100 years or so. From the early days, the residents were mostly Germanic in origin having come from either Germany or Switzerland. It did not take long for the Amish to migrate to the small community.

In 1919, Sherwood Anderson wrote a collection of short stories that were published under the title "Winesburg Ohio" about a boy growing up in a small community in northern Ohio. Although Sherwood grew up in Clyde Ohio, which is about 100 miles northwest of Winesburg, not far from Fremont.
