The Village of Greenfield, situated along Paint Creek which divides Highland and Ross Counties, is where many visit to enjoy the scenery, experience the festivals, and learn about the community's fascinating history. Founded in 1799, Greenfield once had an active quarry that produced limestone for some beautiful churches and homes that remain irresistibly photogenic.

Kayakers enjoy the waters of Paint Creek during warm weather months, and the bike path that begins at Felson Park is a popular venue for bikers, hikers, walkers, and joggers. After a few hours of exploration and exercise, hungry visitors may seek refreshment in Greenfield at the popular Catch 22 Sports Pub or Scotty’s 22 Brew, the county’s first brewery, in Greenfield. The downtown is home to a variety of shops featuring clothing, interesting antiques, artwork, and much more.

Several seasonal festivals liven up Greenfield, including the Greenfield Music Festival featuring free entertainment, lots of food, and many other activities. Other seasonal events include a Wine Walk in May, a German themed Oktoberfest in late September, and a Christmas parade in December.

Some very interesting characters inhabit Greenfield’s history and are revered by the Greenfield Historical Society. C.R. Patterson, a former slave from Virginia, settled in Greenfield and became a master builder of horse-drawn carriages as well as a leading citizen. Later, his son Fred guided C.R. Patterson & Sons into the business of making automobiles and the company enjoyed even greater success. The Patterson-Greenfield debuted in 1915 and was a highly regarded motorcar. The company also produced school buses, hearses and other specialty vehicles from around 1915 until the 1930s when Fred Patterson's death and the Great Depression eventually ended this unique chapter in automobile history.

Greenfield may be a small town, but it is full of charm and many interesting stories. Greenfield offers a variety of different activities such as shopping local small businesses, participating in annual festivals and events, discovering memorials and murals, going for hikes, kayaking along Paint Creek, and so much more. From the indoor experiences to the outdoor adventures, Greenfield Ohio has so much to offer.
