Location - City of Lebanon

Its historic Golden Lamb Inn has been a favorite stopover for presidents and poets since the days of the stagecoach.

While taking care to preserve its colorful past, Lebanon has also made great strides towards its future. In recent years, its become a prime site for business and industrial growth, due in part to it's strategic location between Interstates 71 and 75.

Residents may enjoy the amenities of Lebanon's Ralph Stolle Countryside YMCA, one of the largest and finest in the United States, harness racing at Lebanon Raceway, canoeing on the Little Miami River and golf at the TPC at River's Bend - location of The Kroger Senior Classic tournament.

In Lebanon, residents find a peaceful coexistence of past and future - a hometown destined to prosper and grow, yet remain the same.
