Winesburg, Ohio, is a small farming community founded in the early 19th century by immigrants from Germany and Switzerland, and it maintains much of its historical character and rural charm. It is located in Holmes County, now the center of Ohio's Amish communities.
Of great interest to library patrons might be the collection of short stories by influential American author Sherwood Anderson entitled, Winesburg, Ohio. The often cynical stories are about life in rural Ohio, although Anderson never lived in Winesburg. Many believe the actual inspiration for these tales was his boyhood home in the small farming town of Clyde, Ohio, (Sandusky County) before moving to Chicago, Illinois, and later settling in Virgina
The main branch of the Holmes County Library is located in nearby Millersburg, the county seat.
