Older than the state of Ohio, the village of Waynesville offers a fascinating combination of history and culture as it developed in southwestern Ohio. This "Antiques Capital of the Midwest" and "Home of the Ohio Sauerkraut Festival" is a microcosm of our American heritage with its dreams and accomplishments.
