Georgetown blends small-town charm with rich history
The largest village in Brown County in the Cincinnati metro area, “The Land of Grant,” is the childhood home of Ulysses S. Grant, and its residents take pride in preserving the Civil War general and 18th president’s memory. “We’re trying to portray ourselves as the place to go if you want to know anything about Ulysses S. Grant,” says Stan Purdy, President of the U.S. Homestead Association and resident since 1968. “We have a day’s worth of activities around him.” Historic landmarks pepper the landscape from the Grant Boyhood Home, School House, Tannery, a barn mural portrait on Ohio State Route 125 and a life-size statue of the commanding general in the town square – only scratching the surface of how this tight-knit town celebrates his legacy.
Modern ranch-style homes in Georgetown provide spacious lots and rural comfort.

Housing ranges from log cabins to million-dollar farm estates
Blending historic heritage and rural charm, the neighborhood offers single-family, Colonial Revival-style homes and log cabins to more modern ranch-style homes, bungalows, and sprawling farm properties built in the mid-1990s. Homes range from $100,000 to $800,000, with a few million-dollar farms on the outskirts. “It’s a small historic town in an agricultural community of 4,500 people,” Purdy says. “We have historic homes and a few very modern subdivisions.” Mid-range homes are predominantly in the Heritage Hill and Quail Trace subdivisions. Most homes have long, spacious driveways for RVs or farm toys, screened-in porches and mature trees shading 1-acre lots. Some even have chicken coops, greenhouses and fenced-in lush pastures for all your agricultural activities.

Locally owned shops and cafés line Main Street
Strolling down the town square along South Main Street transports you back to a simpler time with colorful Victorian Italianate-style mom and pops lining the streets. Many like Donohoo Pharmacy have been there since the 1830s, along with a gift shop, florist, Jacob’s Ladder Boutique and Dunn’s Corner, another longtime pharmacy that’s now a hardware store. “We call it Commercial Row, and most are locally owned,” says Purdy. Across the street, you’ll find Bolce’s Pub and Cherry St. Café. At this cozy café, dine on classic comforts like biscuits and gravy and their famous Grant burger and the Roast Beef Hot Shot. Or stop by Parker’s Pizzeria for a slice or hoagie, a family-owned, beloved staple for over 50 years. Grab your groceries at Georgetown IGA, Family Dollar or Save-A-Lot, all just a mile away.

Historic theater and Civil War reenactments draw crowds
Georgetown’s historic theater, The Gaslight Theater Players, opened in 1907 as a vaudeville house and continues to be a cultural hub for the region. And this town goes beyond monuments to honor the late 18th president. The association hosts the U.S. Grant Celebration and Living History program every April, drawing in over 1,500 people with fireworks, Civil War-period music, historical tours and reenactments. Beyond that, Purdy’s association hosts town square concerts, wine tastings and a car show. “We’ve gotten a lot of positive reaction from residents,” says Purdy. It's a very close-knit, active community.” The largest and most popular event is the Brown County Fair. “It’s a place that people come back to year after year,” he says. “The biggest draw is the tractor pull competition. It attracts a huge number of people.”

Most residents commute to city jobs
Residents enjoy a peaceful, rural lifestyle less than a mile from a bustling shopping and dining scene. By hopping on Route 125 and U.S. Route 68, residents can easily access the Brown County Airport in 2 miles and Cincinnati in roughly 40 miles. “Most of our residents work in the city metropolitan area and commute an hour for work,” Purdy says. “If they live in the rural area, they’re also part-time farmers.”
