Bainbridge marks the western end of the beautiful Paint Valley, in antiquity an especially close concentration of geometric earthworks, including Seip, Baum, and, along its northern fork, the spectacular Hopewell Mound Group.

In Bainbridge stop at Paxton’s for lunch, and check on the world famous cheesecakes made across the street. An extensive antique marketplace is on a sidestreet nearby. The town may be best known as the birthplace of American Dentistry: the story is told in a small, white house, the Dental Museum, on Main Street.
