The smell of fresh air and a bit of historical flavor are just a few of the ingredients that bring a touch of nostalgia to this preserve. The Governor Bebb Preserve features a historical pioneer village, which includes the log house birthplace of William Bebb, Butler County native and Ohio's nineteenth governor; a general store; blacksmith's shop; one-room schoolhouse; tavern and more! The Governor Bebb Preserve is 264 acres of hardwood forest and thriving native wildlife -- complete with nature trails, a covered bridge from the 1800's, rustic camping, and so much more!
