Worthington, you showed up - and the whole country noticed.

We are thrilled to share that Worthington has been voted #8 Best Small Town in the Midwest AND #8 Best Historic Small Town in the USA in USA Today's 10Best Reader's Choice poll. Two national rankings. One incredible community.

This is a reader-voted award, which means this honor belongs to every resident, every business owner, every volunteer, and every person who has ever proudly called Worthington home. You voted, you shared, and you told the story of this town better than we ever could.

We know what makes Worthington special. Turns out, the rest of the country is starting to figure it out too. Thank you for being the kind of community worth bragging about.

Flocking to a Worthington city park near you!

Sheep Pastures to Progress has officially arrived on the Village Green - and it's been worth the wait. As part of America's 250th anniversary celebrations, 29 Worthington community organizations, artists, schools, and cultural groups each designed a painted sheep silhouette that reflects their own identity and spirit, turning Worthington into a walkable gallery that connects our agricultural roots to the vibrant community we are today.

Why sheep? In 1812, Worthington founder James Kilbourn imported 103 Merino sheep to the Village Green. By 1850, Sharon Township was home to more than 2,700 sheep - far outnumbering its roughly 1,000 human residents. That same Village Green is where our story begins again.

From now through October, the flock will travel throughout Worthington's parks, business districts, and civic spaces. Scan the QR code on any sheep for historic narratives, info on the organization, and the story behind each sculpture - curated by the Worthington Historical Society and Experience Worthington.
