As the nation celebrates 250 years of America, Medina, a designated Ohio 250 Community, celebrates this monumental July with historical highlight programs and celebratory events. Be sure to catch events like the Independence Day parade and Patriotic Community Band Concert on the Historic Square. Plan to relax in the Main Street Medina area with the Medina Community Band concerts in Medina’s Uptown Park Gazebo and experience the best summer pastime. At Medina Community Band’s Friday night concerts, you can plan a perfect night out with dinner in one of the 10 restaurants in Medina’s Historic District and have an evening of entertainment in the heart of the Medina.

Medina’s Town Hall and Engine House Museum offers a historic walk through the city’s neighborhood development, farming and industry artifacts and timeless photos of the events and people that worked so hard to make a central hub for creativity and industry. While you visit, you will learn of the great fires that spurred on the city’s comeback and take a step back in time while witnessing the hard work the community has placed on preservation and progress.

The McDowell-Philips House and John Smart House serve as the two Medina County Historical Society sites and are within walking distance of Medina’s city’s center. Visitors can learn about the families and individuals that shared their love of community, hard work and making an impact in the entire united states with education, bee keeping, travel and philanthropy.
