Millersburg combines a historically shaped town center with glass history, trails and community parks. When choosing accommodation in Millersburg, you can prioritize what matters most for your stay: cultural and historic sites, activities on the Holmes County Trail, or sports and recreation facilities.

Historic Downtown and Glass History

Historic Downtown Millersburg is a Heritage Ohio Main Street Community. Along Jackson Street are preserved 19th-century buildings housing shops, boutiques, restaurants, art galleries and museums. This makes it easy to combine a visit to the town center with a range of interests, from browsing the shops to exploring art and history.

The Victorian House Museum is a 28-room Queen Anne-style house listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Historical tours are available upon request; a minimum of six people and an advance reservation are required. If you are planning a tour, check the current arrangements in advance.

Next to the Victorian House Museum is the Sieverdes Millersburg Glass Museum. Its collection includes 400 masterpieces of Millersburg Glass; the number may change as exhibits are updated. The museum presents the history of the local glassworks, its employees and its owner, John Fenton. Tickets for the glass museum are available in the lobby of the Victorian House Museum. As this arrangement may change, it is a good idea to check before your visit.

Trails and Outdoor Activities

Millersburg Depot is located on the Holmes County Trail, offers restrooms year-round and serves as an information center for the trail and railroad. The trail has a paved path for cycling, inline skating, walking, running and wheelchair use. There is also an adjacent path for buggies and riders, intended for horse-drawn vehicles and horseback riding. Before using the trails, check whether temporary closures or construction affect the route or permitted uses.

For a different trail surface, Legacy Point in Millersburg offers more than five miles of natural-surface trails. Unlike the paved path on the Holmes County Trail, the trails at Legacy Point have natural surfaces.

Parks and Recreation

The Deer Run Park Complex includes a dog park, ball fields, a walking path, exercise equipment, the Timothy Baker Amphitheater, two pavilions, basketball courts, a skate park, a disc golf course and a fenced children’s play area. The options range from exercise and ball games to events and play facilities.

Old Airport Park offers a different mix of amenities: ball fields, extensive play equipment, a pavilion, and tennis, basketball and pickleball courts. Those looking to compare facilities for different sports will find another option here alongside the facilities at Deer Run. In addition to ball fields, Deer Run has a skate park, a disc golf course and a fenced play area; Old Airport Park offers different features, including tennis and pickleball courts.

Seasonal Events in Historic Downtown

The Amish Country Farmers Market takes place in Historic Downtown Millersburg on the first and third Saturdays of each month from June through October. When planning your trip, it is worth checking the specific dates in advance, as they may change in future seasons.
