Retirement Living In Wilmington - Ohio

Jump to: Area, Characteristics, Cost, Amenities, Climate, Demographics, Housing, Assistance
The large metro areas are often an attractive destination point for retirees based
on their ability to offer many attractions and amenities in a concentrated geographical
area. Unfortunately, what is often over looked as an alternative retirement location is the
rural community slightly off the beaten path that has treasures of its own to offer, away
from the hustle and bustle of the large city. The ambiance of rural America is not a myth,
it is as real as the people who reside there, who cherish old fashioned values, who are
neighborly, and who know what it is to be hospitable.
The people who retire in rural America are looking for something special. They
want to “experience” something; the sight of a sign advertising merchandise that is home
grown and homemade excites them; they know that heritage shapes a community and
that if a community preserves its heritage, it has integrity; they find worth in historic
relics, architecture, and art; they prefer not fighting the masses when they tour a museum,
shop for antiques, or decide to end their day with a quiet dinner; they enjoy festivals,
where family is still the focal point; and finally, they respect the opportunity to create
their own memories.
Are you someone who wants to retire in rural America? If not, should you be someone
who retires to rural America? Hopefully your answer was yes to one of these questions. If so, there is a place you should know about. It is Clinton County, a community proud
to say they are part of rural America in Southwest Ohio.
Clinton County is rich in its history of bygone days with deep pride for its Quaker
heritage. It’s a place where unique shopping opportunities prevail, and local artisans
display their wares. In Clinton County you can still find fresh produce at roadside stands,
or you can pick your own. Nature is a strong force here, and Cowan Lake State Park
provides you with every opportunity to enjoy nature at its best. Clinton County also
believes in family festivals. Whether its celebrating the 50s and 60s at the annual Banana
Split Festival, or paying tribute to the areas’ deep agricultural roots at the Corn Festival,
there is an event for everyone. Good food is of course available, you just have to decide
if you are in the mood for fine dining or some home cooking at a local diner.
Give rural America a try. It will be a living experience you won’t forget.
