Bellville Ohio Accommodations

The historic downtown district is home to unique shops, restaurants, and businesses. The city is part of the MainStreet Program that helps cultivate the development of the downtown area; you will be well-entertained and treated in the center of Bellville.

One of the historic structures Bellville is proud of is its 1878 Bandstand. It served as a gathering place for the community. The bandstand has been used for concerts, dances, and other community events ever since. It was also used as a polling place and a meeting place for the local veterans. The bandstand was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

Visit Bellville Street Fair for a taste of the local atmosphere. It is an annual community event with entertainment both during the day and night. Live concerts, rides, contests, and art shows will keep you busy during this four-day event in September.

Be sure to stop by the local Farmers Market, too. It happens every Saturday from May till October. The Farmers Market's mission is to support local growers and vendors. There you'll be able to buy fresh, locally-grown produce as well as cottage foods and spend a nice relaxing day outside with a friendly communal atmosphere.

One of the prominent cultural attractions near Bellville is Renaissance Theater. It is just seventeen minutes away, in the city of Mansfield. It provides a wide range of events and programming, from musical theater to movies, from Emerging Artist Program to the Mansfield Symphony Orchestra. Be sure to check their schedule during your stay, and you're guaranteed to find an event for your liking.

For some outdoor recreation and active pastimes, visit one of Bellville's parks. Amvets Community Park provides modern amenities like a skate park, playground, and shelters for picnics. Charles Palm Park is also a beautiful area with covered and open pavilions, 2 fishing ponds, and convenient parking around the site. You could also enjoy a peaceful day of golfing at the Little Apple Golf Club or Deer Ridge and Black Dog Tavern golfing complex.

Of course, we have to mention Bellville's natural landmark that is The Clear Fork Creek. And also, we can't skip the B&O Bike Trail that cuts through the city and runs along the creek. The Richland B&O Trail is a paved 18.4-mile bike trail built on the former railroad bed of the Baltimore & Ohio Railway. The trail runs through Butler, Bellville, Lexington, and Mansfield, providing an easy connection between towns that extends your reach for attractions and events around the area and also provides opportunities for beautiful scenic rides through some of the best natural spots of North Central Ohio.
