Bryan, Hilliard, McConnelsville, Millersburg, and Urbana will be recognized as great places to live, work, and visit in Ohio Magazine’s annual Best Hometowns issue, which will be published on November 1.
To determine this year’s honorees, Ohio Magazine solicited nominations in the spring and conducted visits across the state over the summer. The editors evaluated finalists in six categories — Community Spirit, Education, Entertainment, Health and Safety, Business Environment, and Culture and Heritage — to help make their selections.
The magazine’s editors chose Urbana in part for its welcoming downtown filled with unique shops and restaurants, how it preserves and celebrates local history and its strong sense of community.
Each of Ohio Magazine’s Best Hometowns honorees will be featured in both November/December 2024 and July/August 2025 issues of the magazine and online at ohiomagazine.com, giving readers a look at what makes each community special.
