Terrace Park – A Small Village with a Large Story to Tell

Historic Terrace Park.  Located just west of Milford, at the Hamilton County/Clermont County border.  Hugged by Indian Hill, and bordered by Anderson Township, Terrace Park is located in Columbia Township, just above the Little Miami River. Tree-lined streets and cul-de-sac living. Terrace Park, like so many of the villages and towns in the area, boasts a rich and exciting history.

The story of Terrace Park as we know it begins in the late 1700’s, as settlers moved west. The Terrace Park Historical Society has worked tirelessly over the years, preserving every map, story, picture and home’s history, as well as they are able.

It’s fun to read about the Famous Robinson’s Circus.  The Famous Robinson’s Circus, founded in 1823, officially made this area it’s winter quarters. ….including the elephants!

Many of Terrace Park’s youngest residents enjoy a walk to the local elementary school.  Terrace Park is served by the award winning  Mariemont School District.
