Located in the heart of the Ohio Valley, Barnesville is a vibrant and welcoming village known for its rich history, scenic charm, and strong community values. Whether you’re enjoying a peaceful afternoon in our beautiful Barnesville Memorial Park, shopping in the locally owned stores of our historic downtown, or exploring one of our many historic landmarks, you’ll quickly discover what makes Barnesville a special place to live, work, and visit.

Barnesville has been named one of Ohio Magazine’s Best Hometowns for 2025–2026! This recognition celebrates our strong sense of community, charming historic architecture, and commitment to preserving local landmarks for future generations. 

We take great pride in our heritage, with several historic sites open for tours, showcasing the village’s unique past. Each year, during the last full weekend in September, our community hosts the renowned Barnesville Pumpkin Festival — a four-day celebration that draws over 150,000 visitors and highlights the spirit and hospitality of our town.

Barnesville is also home to one of the most respected public school systems in the region, where our dedicated educators prioritize academic excellence and student success.
