Historic Downtown Greenville is a distinctive shopping district nestled in the heart of a scenic rural community. Shoppers
enjoy friendly store-keepers (some five generations old), hand-made crafts, and county charm mixed with unexpectedly urban
and sophisticated finds. A visit to Historic Downtown Greenville is like coming home.
Historic Downtown Greenville boasts 85 buildings on the National Register of historic places. Our landscaped streets contain
one of the largest rows of early 19th century commercial buildings still in use today, along with outstanding examples of
High Victorian, Italianate and Gothic Victorian Architecture. Viewed from our comfortable street benches, our beloved
buildings form a continuous, four block long corridor of historic buildings.
Our quality shopping district began in 1880 when farming wealth from corn, wheat and tobacco fueled banking and merchandising
in our quaint town. Through the years, Downtown Greenville has remained economically sound even in relatively bleak times,
like the Great Depression.
In 1935, Greenville had the largest retail volume of any town or city its size in Ohio and surpassed some larger cities such
as Troy and Sidney. Today, Historic Downtown Greenville still enjoys a glorious atmosphere of quality, one-of-a-kind retail
and dining experiences.
Main Street Greenville is a non-profit organization committed to stimulating and supporting revitalization efforts, historic
preservation and economic growth in Historic Downtown Greenville.
The organization, formerly Downtown Greenville, Inc., was formed in 1997 to focus on the commercial core of Greenville to have it remain economically viable. The organization is a Main Street Program which reflects quality of the programs implementations.
