A quiet city just outside Sharon

Hermitage is a small suburban neighborhood on the outskirts of the City of Sharon in Mercer County. This little town is home to the nation’s only free public golf course and Kraynak’s, a family-owned store with world-renowned holiday decoration displays. Hermitage students receive an excellent education at the highest-ranking public schools in Mercer County.
