The communities of Carthage, Elmwood Place and Hartwell share more than a boundary.

Together, they form an important part of the historic Mill Creek Valley and Vine Street corridor —

an area shaped by transportation, agriculture, manufacturing, neighborhood businesses and

generations of families who have called this part of Hamilton County home.
