Antebellum History & Small-City Pride

Lebanon is the county seat of Warren County and one of the most historically significant communities in southwestern Ohio. With a population of roughly 21,000, Lebanon is known for its beautifully preserved antebellum architecture, the historic Golden Lamb inn — Ohio's oldest — and a downtown that feels both timeless and alive. The city sits along the I-75 corridor between Dayton and Cincinnati, offering the perfect balance of historic charm, modern convenience, and access to Warren County's top-rated schools.

OVERVIEW
