About Hillsboro

Hillsboro is a welcoming small town of about 6,500 residents nestled in the rolling countryside of southwest Ohio.

The town takes pride in its heritage as an early bell-making hub, which is celebrated every summer during the popular Festival of the Bells, bringing people together for live music, parades, and local food.
