WILDEFLOWER Says: Mr. Trammel was an industrail developer for about 20 years on what was a 100 acre farm off Hauk Rd. While moving some earth he uncovered marine fossils that were about 440 million years old of the ordovician period. He started letting collectors come in and collect the...
Stephen-KarenConn Says: This new 24,000-square- foot multi-use facility opened at Sharon Woods Park in 1999. It contains a ranger station, exhibits, Nature's Niche Gift Shop, and an auditorium. Our favorite part of the Sharon Centre is the indoor children's play area, which is a great place to let...
Stephen-KarenConn Says: This living museum consists of 14 buildings from around southwestern Ohio which have been brought together in a village setting. They accurately convey a sense of the area's small town life before 1880. Reconstructed buildings include a two-story double-pen log house from...
Stephen-KarenConn Says: Trammel Fossil Park is new, opened to the public on Sept. 29, 2003, but the treasure it holds is 445 million years old. That treasure is fossils - tons of them, in a 10 acre site where you are allowed to hunt and collect for yourself. The park actually looks more like a...
Stephen-KarenConn Says: Perhaps the best thing in Sharonville is Sharon Woods, a 755 acre park which includes a beautiful 35 acre lake. There are hiking trails, picnic areas, concessions, fishing, boating, an 18 hole golf course, historic Heritage Village and more. The park is famous for it's ice...

Blue Goose Sports Cafe: Sharonville's Newest - and Best
Stephen-KarenConn Says: Originally known as the Blue Goose Saloon, the Blue Goose Sports Cafe is a gathering place in downtown Sharonville. Perhaps they changed the name to give it a more family friendly image in this conservative town. It has the look and feel of a much older establishment, but is...
El Rancho Grande: Authentic Mexican Restaurant and Cantina
Stephen-KarenConn Says: Of the 50 or so restaurants in Sharonville, this is the one we eat at most often. It has great food, friendly service, and the prices can't be beat. A local favorite, the place is always busy. On some nights a strolling maharachi band is there and will come by and sing at...
LaRosa's: Cincinnati's Own Pizza & Other Great Italian Food
Stephen-KarenConn Says: In 1954 a young man named Buddy LaRosa opened a little carryout stand the the Cincinnati suburb of Westwood. His friends at San Antonio Catholic Church, in Cincinnati's "Little Italy," liked his Aunt Dena's pizza so much, he thought other people in the neighborhood might...
The Root Beer Stand: Old Fashioned Frosty Mugs
Stephen-KarenConn Says: Since 1957, this old-fashioned Root Beer Stand has been making their own brew from water from their own 280-feet-deep well. The owners attribute the distinctive taste of their root beer to this water. They have been voted in years past by readers of Cincinnati Magazine as...
Skyline Chili: The Taste of Cincinnati
Stephen-KarenConn Says: From the time the first restaurant opened in downtown Cincinniti in 1949, until today, Skyline Chili has helped make Cincinnati famous. Or maybe it's the other way around. for many years Skyline could only be found in Cincinnati and environs. Now it has spread to a small...

Downtown Sharonville centers around an old railroad depot, but no trains come here any more, nor could they, because the tracks are now several blocks away. However there is a large freight switching yard in Sharonville, and an antique railroad engine is on the official logo for the city.
What to buy: Around Depot Square is an ecclectic assortment of shops, restaurants, offices, a bank, post office, and a good hardware store. It has the feel of a small town, even though, for all practical purposes, Sharonville was long ago swallowed up by Metropolitan Cincinnati.
What to pay: Sharonville doesn't have a Wal-mart or a Mall, even though there are huge malls and discounts stores on every side of us in the adjoining suburbs. That's why we seldom shop in Sharonville. Prices are generally lower just a short way down the street. We wish it weren't that way - but it is.

Society of Historic Sharonville Museum
Stephen-KarenConn Says: Greater Cincinnati is home to several world class museums. This is definitely not one of them. But to provide full coverage of my home town, I must give it a mention.This small museum, on the corner of Main St. and Creek Rd., is housed in an old fire station., It was born...
Be considerate to other businesses
WILDEFLOWER Says: There is other Business around. Please stay in Park area only. There is plenty is the fossil Park to find.
The cliffs are dangerous. You have to watch your step. The rocks are loose and there are no rails. I wear knee pads and I'm on my bottom a lot with my tools. Just be careful and you'll be fine. Keep your kids close. You never know about the strangers that show up in these places? It's kind of an out of the way place and not many people know about it. There are no bathrooms here yet. I brought my own bandaids, warer, snacks etc....

This is our favorite spot in Sharonville. It is actually one of several small waterfalls along the Sharon Creek Gorge in Sharon Woods Park. We sometimes see young people swimming here, although a sign says swimming is not allowed. I hate signs like that. If someone wants to be dumb enough to jump off a rock into shallow water, that should be their problem. Maybe the county, who owns the park, is afraid of being sued, so the sign covers their butt.
Anyway, the gorge is a beautiful, quiet, green place with lots of wildflowers, especially in spring. The rocks in Sharon Creek are a very good place to find fossils. We have sighted deer, raccoon and fox here, and there are an abundance of songbirds, as well as an occasional owl. In the gorge, and especially at Buckeye Falls, it's easy to forget that this park is just a small island of green surrounded by interstate highways, railroads, factories, businesses, and houses.
Sharon Woods Park, near the center of Sharonville, may be accessed from either Lebanon Road or Kemper Road.

Stephen-KarenConn Says: Sharonville offers six city parks, all free and open to the public, in addition to two parks (Including Sharon Woods) operated by the Hamilton County Park District. These provide opportunities for golf, soccer, softball, volleyball, basketball, fishing and other...
Stephen-KarenConn Says: Since we are people who enjoy the outdoors more than city life, the greatest redeeming factor of living in Sharonville, for us, is that our back yard joins Sharon Woods. Within these 755 acres are several options for hiking, and we take advantage of them almost every day....
Stephen-KarenConn Says: Every town worth its salt has a monument and this is ours. It is dedicated to all U. S. veterans - not just those from Sharonville. There are individual marble pedestals or plaques honoring all six branches of the armed forces, and also special recognition to women in...
WILDEFLOWER Says: Bring your own tools. When we pulled up there were people there already digging around on the cliffs and piles. Be careful and have fun!
