A Perfect Fall Weekend in Wellington, OH

The Village of Wellington, located in the southern portion of Lorain County, OH, is a quaint, small town with lots of spirit. In addition to being known as the Cheese Capital of the World from around 1868 until about 1910, it is also know for its stunning collection of 19th & early 20th century architecture. And of course, for being the home of artist Archibald Williard, while he painted the famed Spirit of '76.
