Experience Mount Vernon is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit that is dedicated to a vibrant downtown Mount Vernon!

Downtown Mount Vernon is Ohio’s Heart of Community.

Conveniently located just an hour north of Columbus in scenic Knox County, Mount Vernon offers the perfect blend of historic charm, small-town hospitality, and vibrant activity.

Whether you're strolling down one of our tree-lined streets, shopping at one-of-a-kind local businesses, or dining at unique restaurants and cafés, you’ll find something to love in every season. Our beautifully restored downtown is home to signature events, public art, family-friendly experiences, and a strong sense of community pride.

Spend the day or evening with us to shop, dine, and explore the character of Mount Vernon’s historic Public Square. Looking for outdoor fun? We've got that too — from walking trails and community events to interactive fountains and seasonal displays, there's something for everyone to enjoy in Downtown Mount Vernon.

Come EXPERIENCE the heart of our community. We can’t wait to welcome you.
