The village grew during the railroad boom of the mid-1800s, and you can still see historic nineteenth-century homes and brick architecture along the side streets. Local affairs center around the small Village Hall on West Middle Street, while everyday shopping, dining, and schools are located just a short drive away in neighboring Creston or Wooster. It offers a calm, close-knit neighborhood feel with essential conveniences close at hand.
