On Trumbull County’s southern border, Girard is an easy-to-navigate town with an open, welcoming atmosphere.

One of the oldest remaining buildings in Girard, the Henry Barnhisel House, shares tales of community and family history. The 19th-century mansion once served as a home for some of the area’s earliest residents.

A visit to the Mahoning Country Club for a banquet, tournament or a relaxing game of golf is one to remember.

Dance lessons and themed nights bring those of all ages together at Avon Oaks Ballroom. The more than 100-year-old ballroom offers classes in the waltz, swing, cha cha, samba and more, as well as open-floor nights for dancers to let loose on the dancefloor.

Jib Jab Hot Dog Shoppe serves up burgers, fries, shakes and, of course, hot dogs. Down the road, Margherita’s Grille creates great food from fresh ingredients.
