Welcome To The Village of  McConnelsville

Preserving our history. Growing our future.

Our Mission

The McConnelsville Main Street Program is dedicated to preserving our historic charm, supporting local businesses, and fostering a vibrant, welcoming downtown. We work to enhance the economic vitality, cultural heritage, and sense of community that make McConnelsville a place where residents thrive, visitors feel at home, and history comes alive on every corner.

Our Four Pillars

At the heart of the McConnelsville Main Street Program is a simple truth: our mission is built on four key pillars. Each one guides how we preserve our history, grow our businesses, and strengthen the sense of community that makes McConnelsville so special.
