Residents often engage in 4-H or FFA projects, raising livestock such as chickens and cows. The community features recreational areas like South Amherst Community Park, which includes a basketball court, shaded picnic shelter, playground, and a large field for soccer games and picnicking. Douglas Field hosts Firelands Falcons baseball games and is open for public use, while Whiskeyville Golf Club offers public fairways. Lorain Raceway Park, just outside the village, attracts locals for high-speed racing events from April to October. The historic Buckeye Quarry, once the world’s largest sandstone quarry, is now a picturesque landmark.

Commercial options within the village are limited, with Whiskeyville Still N Grill and Piggy’s Main Street Market being notable spots.
