Experience Stark County
Stark County, it's home to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Hartville MarketPlace, the Amish Door, and so much more. It also claims a gateway to Ohio Amish Country.

The town of Wilmot is Stark County's Gateway to Ohio Amish Country. Located in the extreme southwest of the county, the area's beautiful hills and rolling farm country borders Wayne, Holmes and Tuscarawas Counties. As the door to Ohio Amish Country, Wilmot is home to the Amish Door Restaurant, Inn and Village. The town also has several antique shops, furniture stores and gift shops. HartvilleIn the north of the county, you'll find the Historic Village of Hartville in Lake Township (home of Quail Hollow State Park).
