Batavia, OH - Put Your Hands Together for Mark "Dice" Twain

Welcome to Batavia, Ohio, the seat of Clermont County.  The village's slogan is "Historic Past, Bright Future".  The town is situated along the Appalachian Highway, a major east-west highway that connects southern Ohio to the Cincinnati area.  There are a number of notable people who've called the area home, including a surprising number of baseball players for a town of 1,600 people.  One non-sports standout is Josephine Johnson, the youngest winner of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.  There is also an extensive mine system in the area, including a limestone mine that is still in operation.  No, George, there is no gold.  Despite that small disappointment, we hope you enjoy our little trip to the Village of Batavia!Small Town News--whose headline is it, anyway? @SmallTownNewsImprov
