Farmers Market in Wilmington, Ohio

Wilmington is a small city with big fun.  Make sure you plan on attending the Farmers Market and stroll through the tents of fresh fruits, vegetables, and homemade baked goods.  Pick-up some homemade soap for a souvenir of your trip or bring your best four-legged buddy and check out the homemade dog treats.  During the summer the market is located on Mulberry Street across from the General Denver Hotel.

Heading over in the cooler months?  Don’t worry; the farmer’s market moves indoors when the weather gets a little too crisp.

Wilmington City Historical Murals

mural

Wilmington is very quickly becoming known for its murals on the building walls around town.  The newest addition is a mural that pays tribute to the long-standing, rich heritage of farming and agriculture in the community. The images portray the founding farmers connected to the 16 registered Ohio Century Farms of Clinton County as listed with the Ohio Department of Agriculture.  We recommend taking a walk around town and visiting the murals and even snapping a few pictures for your memories.

We hope these attractions make your time spent in the Wilmington area even better.  If you are planning your next vacation or event, the friendly staff at Roberts Centre is eager to help.  Call us today at 800.654.7036.
