Review:

Peninsula is one of Summit County's most charming historical villages, named as one of America's best small town neighborhoods by This Old House in 2012. The tiny historic village, which is located within the greater Akron region, is home to a population of less than 600 but is known throughout the Midwest as a top tourist destination due to its proximity to Cuyahoga Valley National Park. More than 20 buildings throughout the city are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Gothic Revival-style 1835 Bronson Memorial Church. The city's historic Main Street is lined with delightful shops, restaurants, and art galleries, while its outskirts are traversed by the scenic Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail. Visitors can also pick their own produce at Greenfield Berry Farm, take art workshops at the Peninsula Art Academy, or enjoy opportunities for hiking and rock climbing at natural areas such as Kendall Lake.
