Just 20 minutes from our home lies Lebanon, Ohio. Shopping has become an art form here in Lebanon, boasting over 80 specialty shops offering one-of-a-kind antiques, furniture, fine art, jewelry, collectables, distinctive clothing and much more. There are several nice restaurants and a wonderful town museum here in this small, old, oh so beautiful town.
Two movies were shot here in Lebanon. In 1979, Harper Valley PTA, starring Barbara Eden,was filmed here and, in 1994, Milk Money with Melanie Griffith and Ed Harris used this charming town as it's backdrop.
The Golden Lamb Inn is located in Lebanon. It is recognized as Ohio's oldest inn and was established in 1803. This inn has been visited by 12 presidents and notables like authors Mark Twain and Charles Dickens. You can still stay at the inn today. The rooms are plain, quaint but filled with charm and rich with history. The restaurant serves a wonderful lunch and dinner and has a wonderful Sunday family style turkey dinner with all the trimmings. It was here that Bill, Grace, Mom and I dined today. The servers are friendly and the food so good. I had a cup of creamy chicken and rice soup as an appetizer and oooh. So good! Just perfect for a cool Fall day.
This is one of my favorites shops here in Lebanon. The William and Mary is such a delightful place to spend a little time and pick up a treat or two...or five. *smile*
I hope your week will bring you lots to smile about. Enjoy every moment of this glorious season...

Lebanon is certainly a wonderful town!! I ate at the Golden Lamb with my parents many many years ago, and hope to go back someday. We are trying to get the boys (band) booked for a Christmas event in Lebanon; that would be fun!!

Your Lebanon, Ohio reminds me of our Lebanon, Tennessee..about 30 minutes from me. It has a town square and is historical. I love your pictures!!!
Thanks for taking me along shopping. Your pictures are gorgeous.
Take care, DebraK
