Top 5 Best Ohio Hometowns

Ohio Magazine just announced its 2010 Top 5 Best Hometowns. Give ya one guess who made the list. That's right. Yellow Springs!

With its eclectic mix of shops, galleries and restaurants, Yellow Springs has an environment that attracts equally diverse residents. From the quirky, knitted “graffiti” adorning trees and traffic signs downtown to the mostly locally owned — and supported — businesses, this small town is a place that residents are proud to call home.

Village Artisans has been proud to call Yellow Springs home for over 25 years!
