As Ohio Magazine recognizes Barnesville among five great places to live, Barnesville leaders react with joy and pride to the honor.

Mayor Jake Hershberger wants the Village of Barnesville to celebrate this moment together.

Editors from the magazine visited villages and cities throughout the summer evaluating finalists in six categories—community spirit, education, entertainment, health and safety, business environment and culture and heritage.

A newly organized group of individuals who want to focus on making healthy choices for weight loss, or maintaining their current weight, extends an open invitation to others interested in this effort.

Meetings are currently held on Thursdays at 10 a.m. with weigh-ins beginning at 9:30 a.m. at the Main St. United Methodist Church Sunday School, Barnesville.

A member of our local community, Becky Wehr of Barnesville is a Finalist for the 2025 SilverSneakers® Member of the Year Award, a national honor celebrating seniors who exemplify healthy, active living.
