Rural, small-town community with a main street of antique shops and restaurants
Known as the ‘antique capital of the Midwest’ because of its plethora of antique shops on Main Street, Wayne Township blends a walkable village with the scenery of the countryside and a nearby sprawling state park. “People choose to move to the area for the quaint small-town feel and closeness to Caesar Creek State Park,” says Angella Layne, a Realtor with NavX Realty, LLC. From the charming atmosphere to the natural beauty of Ohio, the township may be a fit for those seeking a slower pace of life. In Wayne Township, locals enjoy a rural area defined by an outdoorsy lifestyle and the small-town community vibe. “You’ll be on your back deck grilling, and you’ll hear your neighbors doing the same,” says Myles Greely, a Realtor at Keller Williams Community Partners. “All the kids will be playing, and next thing you know, plans happen, and they’re all playing together. It’s really sweet. It’s a small-town community that finds you.”
Antique Capital of the Midwest
Main Street is in Waynesville, the heart of Wayne Township. Along this stretch, residents will find not only restaurants but also the reason why Waynesville is considered the ‘antique capital of the Midwest.’ Waynesville Antique Mall, Lilly’s Corner Mall and Past Perfect Antiques and Collectibles are just a few of the antique shops on Main Street. After a day of antique shopping, residents enjoy heading over to The Hammel House, a bed and breakfast that is popular for its restaurant. “They have gourmet food,” Greely says. “They have a new chef that is really good. They do specials all the time. My favorite is their chicken and waffles.” Just down the street, locals enjoy Butter Churn Café. “I personally love the Butterchurn Cafe for lunch or a milkshake on a hot summer day,” Layne says. Stone House Tavern is an excellent option for international fare in a pub interior. They also offer an outdoor, covered patio that customers enjoy. Residents also enjoy B&B Carryout & Diner. “It’s a staple,” Greely says. “It’s a gas station that has one of the best breakfast sandwiches around, The Big Bo.” Groceryland is the neighborhood spot for groceries and essentials.
