About this Location

Facility Overview

The Public Parking Lot at 25 N Clay St is a well-maintained, open-air municipal surface lot serving the heart of downtown Millersburg, Ohio—the county seat of Holmes County and the gateway to Ohio’s famed Amish Country. Situated just steps north of East Jackson Street (US-62 / State Route 39), this accessible lot provides organized, paved parking spaces designed to serve visitors, shoppers, government patrons, and employees. Because it is a flat, uncovered surface facility, there are no overhead clearance restrictions, making it exceptionally accommodating for standard passenger sedans, pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, minivans, and taller touring vans equipped with roof gear or bicycle racks.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned squarely in historic downtown Millersburg, this parking lot puts drivers within an effortless stroll of premier local heritage sites, boutique shops, and dining destinations:

Holmes County Courthouse: Located less than a 2-minute walk away (one block south), making this lot prime parking for county business, judicial hearings, and civic visits.
Historic Downtown Millersburg & Antique Centers: Stroll directly onto Jackson and Clay Streets to discover locally owned boutiques, antique malls, quilt shops, and artisan bakeries within a 1- to 5-minute walk.
Millersburg Brewing Company: A beloved regional craft brewery and taproom located less than 300 feet away, ideal for lunch, dinner, and craft beer enthusiasts.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward via North Clay Street, offering direct and easy turn-in access with unobstructed sightlines. The facility is strategically placed right off US Route 62 and Ohio State Route 39, which serve as the primary east-west arterial highway through Holmes County connecting Millersburg with Berlin, Walnut Creek, and Sugarcreek. State Route 83 runs nearby as well, linking north toward Wooster and Interstate 71. While public fixed-route mass transit is limited in rural Holmes County, regional taxi services, Amish-hauler van charters, and pedestrian walkways make this lot a prime central staging ground for exploring the village center.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During peak autumn foliage weekends and community festivals (such as Holmes County Antique Festival), parking downtown can fill quickly by mid-morning; planning an early arrival ensures an easy space. Always be mindful of active buggy, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic when entering and exiting North Clay Street, as horse-drawn carriages frequently travel adjacent village roads. Observe posted municipal parking regulations, including any temporary street sweeping, snow removal, or overnight parking ordinances.
