Yellow Springs is a quaint village in Greene County, Ohio that was founded in 1825 to emulate New Harmony, Indiana's existing utopian community. The village is known for its socially liberal values, serving as a major Midwestern center for anti-war protests and civil rights activism in the mid-20th century and as one of Ohio's most LGBT-friendly cities today. It is home to private university Antioch College, noted for its unique work-study programs and individually-structured study. Arts organizations include Chamber Music Yellow Springs and the Yellow Springs Kids Playhouse, which presents award-winning summer theatrical programs each year. More than 50 locally-owned boutiques are showcased throughout the village's downtown district, which is also home to a variety of health-conscious eateries, sidewalk cafes, and farmer's markets.
