We are thrilled to share that Ohio Magazine has recognized Bryan as one of Ohio’s Best Hometowns for 2024–2025! We know that Bryan is a great place to visit and an even better place to live, and we love that others are taking notice. Bryan will be one of five communities recognized in the Nov./Dec. 2024 and July/Aug. 2025 issues of Ohio Magazine, so be sure to look for our feature stories!

How the Selections are Made

Each year, Ohio Magazine recognizes places that make our state a great place to live, work and visit. The magazine selected Bryan in part for its historic downtown, thriving sense of community and reinvestment that continues to bring new and interesting businesses and attractions to the city.

Thank you to all of the residents, visitors, business owners and community champions who submitted nominations for our sweet city. We are truly honored!
