Community guide
Life in Miamisburg, Ohio
Miamisburg sits along the Great Miami River south of Dayton. Downtown Miamisburg's historic district dates to the late 1800s, and its storefronts have been steadily filling back in with restaurants and shops over the past several years. The Miamisburg Mound, the largest surviving prehistoric conical burial mound in Ohio, sits in its own park on a bluff above the river and predates the city by roughly two thousand years.
A riverfront trail connects downtown Miamisburg to the wider Great Miami River Trail system, and the city runs an annual Fall Festival downtown that draws people back to Miamisburg from across the region.
