The Market Square Building: Strategically located in the heart of downtown, Market Square was built in 1851 as an open air market with government and community space on the upper floor. Adjacent to the building stands the Miamisburg Hamburger Wagon - a familiar favorite since 1913.

Carnegie Center: In 1908, Mayor William A Reiter wrote to the Carnegie Foundation requesting funds for a library. He received a response in just twelve days--a promise of $10,000. Construction began in 1909 with a cornerstone ceremony in July. The Carnegie served as the city library until the construction of the new building on the property, what is now the Miamisburg History Center.
Located at 400 East Central Avenue
The Miamisburg Masonic Temple: one of the most unusual buildings in the city. The Methodist Church bought the lot from Dr. John Treon in 1861. They hired Henry Groby as the contractor and construction was completed on the original building in 1869. The brethren of the Miamisburg Temple Association bought it in 1901 and added the Egyptian facade. They have met there since 1902.

With a seating capacity of 800 persons, it was one of the finest in the state and the first to be built in a town of this size. Today it is the site of many public and private functions and home to the Playhouse South Community Theater. Learn more.
