Quaker City, OH

Tucked into the rolling hills of eastern Guernsey County, Quaker City is a quiet village along Leatherwood Creek. Originally known as Millwood after an early grist mill, the town was later renamed for the Quaker families who settled the area in the 1800s. Today, it remains a peaceful rural hub surrounded by family farms and open countryside, offering plenty of space and quiet while keeping residents within easy reach of nearby Cambridge and Interstate 70.

The park also hosts the annual Ohio Hills Folk Festival each summer, a longtime local tradition featuring live music, craft booths, parades, and classic fair food. It is a tight-knit community where neighbors know each other and local traditions still anchor the town throughout the year.
