Our community is home to many local attractions that keep it a destination for a wide variety of interests.

Concerts, theater, local art, train rides, a rich history dating back to the 1800s, the great outdoors... not to mention the many high quality events that these attractions are central to. All of these attractions have established Nelsonville as a favorite location for many who come back again and again.

We are featuring just a few of our attractions here, but there are many more! Come for a visit and you'll agree, Nelsonville has much to offer, without losing that cozy small town feeling.
