Antioch University

Antioch University Midwest (AUM) was the name of a campus of a private institution of higher education serving adult students in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Previously the campus was named "Antioch University McGregor" after the management professor and theorist Douglas McGregor, who served as the President of Antioch College from 1948 to 1954. On June 12, 2010, the campus was officially renamed "Antioch University Midwest."By 2020, the Midwest campus in-person programs were absorbed into Antioch's online program. The Yellow Springs location still serves as Antioch University's headquarters and administrative offices, as well as the location of its low-residency and online program offerings. The Midwest campus was part of the ongoing Antioch University system that includes Antioch University New England in Keene, New Hampshire; Antioch University Seattle in Seattle, Washington; Antioch University Los Angeles in Los Angeles, California; and, Antioch University Santa Barbara in Santa Barbara, California. The original Antioch College, out of which the University system grew, is no longer part of the system, and has been reborn as an independent liberal arts college in Yellow Springs.

The South School is a historic school building in the village of Yellow Springs, Ohio, United States. Over its history of more than 150 years, it has served a wide range of purposes, although it is not used now as a school.Upon its completion in 1856, the South School served one of the school districts of Miami Township. At that time, small schoolhouses covered Greene County; more than a hundred were still in existence into the late twentieth century. This position it held only for a short time; just two years after its completion, it was converted for use as Yellow Springs High School; at that time, only white students were permitted to attend. After fourteen years in the South School, the high school moved to a different property; from 1872 until 1874, no school typically met on the property. It was reopened in the latter year to serve as the black school, which purpose it served until 1887. Since its closure as a school, it has been converted into apartments.Architecturally, the South School is a distinctive example of the Greek Revival style of architecture. Constructed on a limestone foundation, it is built of brick and covered with a metal roof. Among its most distinctive elements is the decorative brickwork that appears at certain points on the exterior; such styling is common on buildings constructed during Yellow Springs' golden age in the mid-19th century, but is a stark difference from the county's other historic school buildings. Architectural historians have seen the brickwork as an indication that the school was constructed by local brickmaker and contractor J.W. Hamilton, who established his business in the community in 1848 and was an active part of the community for over thirty years.In 1984, the South School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its important architecture and because of its place in local history. Key to its place in local history is its use as a segregated school by two races.

Antioch College is a private liberal arts college in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Founded in 1850 by the Christian Connection, the college began operating in 1852 as a non-sectarian institution; politician and education reformer Horace Mann was its first president. The college has been politically liberal and reformist since its inception. It was the fourth college in the country to admit African-American students on an equal basis with whites. It has had a tumultuous financial and corporative history, closing repeatedly, for years at a time, until new funding was assembled. Antioch College began opening new campuses in 1964, when it purchased the Putney School of Education in Vermont. Eventually it opened over 38 different campuses, and in 1978 it changed its name to Antioch University. While most of the university's campuses focused on adult education, graduate programs, and degree completion, Antioch College remained a traditional undergraduate institution on the original campus. In 2008, the university closed the college, but it reopened under new management in 2011 after a group of alumni formed the Antioch College Continuation Corporation and bought from the university both the physical campus and the right to use the name "Antioch College." Antioch is one of only a few liberal arts institutions in the United States featuring a cooperative education work program mandatory for all students. It is a member of the Great Lakes Colleges Association, the Global Liberal Arts Alliance, and the Strategic Ohio Council for Higher Education. The college is affiliated with two Nobel Prize winners, José Ramos-Horta and Mario Capecchi.

The Little Miami Scenic Trail is the fourth longest paved trail in the United States, running 78.1 miles (125.7 km) through five southwestern counties in the state of Ohio. The multi-use rail trail sees heavy recreational use by hikers and bicyclists, as well as the occasional horseback rider. Over 700,000 people made use of the trail in 2014.Most of the trail runs along the banks of the Little Miami River, in a dedicated, car-free corridor known as Little Miami State Park. This unusually linear state park passes through four counties, with a right-of-way running about 50 miles (80 km) long and averaging 66 feet (20 m) in width for a total of about 400 acres (160 ha). Elsewhere, the corridor ranges from 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3.0 m) in width.The Little Miami Scenic Trail is signposted as State Bike Route 1 south of Xenia and State Bike Route 3 throughout. It is the backbone of a nearly continuous network of paved multi-use trails, centered on the Miami Valley area, that stretches 330 miles (530 km) and connects the Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus metropolitan areas. The Little Miami trail is an incrementally growing section of the Buckeye Trail and North Country National Scenic Trail, while the trail south of Xenia also forms the southern leg of the Ohio to Erie Trail and part of U.S. Bicycle Route 21.
