ABOUT
“Victory, Victory -- We shall name the town Mount Victory!”
exclaimed Thomas McCall when he learned Ezra Dille had won the
bid on the land sale against a competitor. Like other towns in
Ohio, Mount Victory started out as a rough and tumble place built
by the lumber industry, mills, the railroad, saloons, blacksmiths
and many village merchants.
Today, the village has retained a good portion of its historic
business block and although the merchants have changed, the town
remains self sufficient, full of independent spirit, with friendly
folks and helpful neighbors.
Antiques
& Crafts Shops
Mount Victory has a gained a reputation
as an off-the beaten-path destination for antique & craft
shopping with over 14 unique shops and 40 dealers - almost all
are within a gentle 5 minute walk.
Authentic
Charm
Mount Victory's authentic historic village charm comes from it's
historic buildings especially on Main & Taylor. But the real
jewel of the village are the people - don't be surprised when
complete strangers greet you with 'hello' and 'how are you'. Old
Order Amish buggys and wagons pass through town, farmers trade
stories at the hardware, homemakers
watch kids play in the park, business owners greet each other
in the bank and post office, kids hitch a ride with friends to
a softball practice, volunteer firemen respond to their neighbor's
crisis - this is a snapshot of the village.
History
Mount Victory was established in 1851 and the plat map was laid
out in what is now commonly called Traditional Neighborhood Design
which is typically pedestrian friendly grid pattern streets with
convenient service alleys and community 'nodes' every 1/6th mile
east to west including the town park, the Main Street business
block and Ridgemont Elementary. That's what makes MV such a pedestrian
friendly village - because it was designed to be just that over
150 years ago!
