Downtown Harrison

A hearty blend of business and pleasure...

Harrison's Rich History dates back to the late 1700's when the first small settlements appeared west of the Great Miami River. This area later became known as Harrison and West Harrison. It is also known as the site where Confederate General John Hunt Morgan and his troops, Morgan's Raiders, passed through like a storm stealing anything they could from farms, stores and other dwellings during the Civil War leaving a mark that would not soon be forgotten.

Downtown Harrison, traditionally known for its old time charm, small town feel and beautifully renovated buildings brings in visitors from all parts of the world.
