Waynesville is one of the oldest villages in southern Ohio, and was originally a Quaker settlement. Due to this history, many of the buildings are still original and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

While there are varying stories from all over, it's said that many people have seen a ghost in the window upstairs. What's even scarier is that bones were once discovered upstairs in the 1950s, and legend has it that they belong to said ghost. No one knows for sure.
