Page "Waynesville, Ohio" Paragraph 13

Waynesville has significance as an important Quaker settlement.

The Miami Monthly Meeting, established in 1803 as the first such gathering in southwestern Ohio, is located here.

Early homes were built of logs and later mostly of frame, as wood was plentiful while bricks had to be made on site.

The Accommodation Stage Coach Line ran along Third Street, which was the major road of that time, and Waynesville was the halfway point between Springfield and Cincinnati, Ohio.

In the first half of the nineteenth century, Main Street became the center of Waynesville's commercial activity.

Currently, the Village of Waynesville has over 200 historic buildings that are still in existence.

Most of these properties are in the older section of town, which includes Main Street, Third Street, Fourth Street, and parts of Fifth Street.
