Yellow Springs

Yellow Spring Ohio History

The connective tissue of Yellow Springs, Ohio, and its many points of interest lies in the Little Miami River.  Native Americans frequented the healing waters of Yellow Springs long before settlers came to the area.  Yellow Springs was formed in 1825 by Will Mills in hopes of forming a utopian community that mimicked New Harmony, Indiana.  When this idea faded, its next growth occurred due to the construction of the Little Miami Railroad in 1846.  The railroad brought in tourists who wanted to experience the medicinal waters of the nearby springs on Neff Grounds.  A few years later in 1850, Horace Mann founded Antioch College.  This led to the village of Yellow Springs being incorporated in 1856.  Today, when one searches for the most eclectic places in the US, Yellow Springs, Ohio tops the list nationally, and always for the state of Ohio. These images capture its charm and its love for the arts.

Yellow Springs Parks

Any story of Yellow Springs would be incomplete without featuring its many parks and the natural wonders held by each.  Initially, images of the below parks were in this Yellow Springs gallery, but I’d captured so many, it became obvious that I needed to dedicate a separate gallery to each park.
