Johnny Appleseed, known to white men as an eccentric benefactor and to the Indians as a medicine man, made Defiance one of his principal headquarters from 1811 to 1828. Defiance was also the site of Fort Winchester during the War of 1812. An excellent place to experience the history of the Defiance area is at the AuGlaize Village and Farm Museum, a project of the Defiance County Historical Society. The restored village contains 22 buildings typical of northwest Ohio in the 1800s. AuGlaize Village is the site of many special events during the year; the largest is the Johnny Appleseed Festival in early October. Defiances Holgate Avenue Historic District also provides a glimpse of days gone by. The structures in the area serve as a visual guide and timeline of the architectural styles that were popular during its 70-year period of development. Greek Revival, Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Prairie, Craftsmen and Bungalow styles are all represented. For the outdoor enthusiast, Independence Dam State Park offers facilities for camping, boating, hiking, fishing, picnicking, bicycling, scenic drives and winter sports. The 606-acre park is approximately 3 miles east of Defiance on State Route 424. Hikers will also enjoy the Buckeye Trail, which passes through the Defiance area along the Maumee River, Miami and Erie Canal bed, as well as along quiet rural roads. Bicyclists will enjoy the Northwest Ohio Rivers Council Memorial Bicycle Trail. The 6-to 7-mile loop begins at Oxbow Lake, goes to the (ghost town) of Evansport in Defiance County and then connects with the Williams County section.

Today, Defiance County offers a variety of cultural opportunities from its large, enclosed shopping and strip malls to the many quaint family-owned specialty shops. People come from all over the United States and Canada to enjoy the pleasant rural rolling farm land setting. From the rivers and waterways to the many church and community festivals, Defiance County offers a great family environment for residents and visitors alike. Now lets look at some of the Ohio golf courses in Defiance County.

Ohio Golf Courses Comments:
This course, surrounded by woods and farmland, features rolling terrain, like so many Ohio golf courses, and an abundance of mature trees. The un-watered fairways are quite wide, yet have plenty of out-of-bounds areas that require a degree of accuracy. Ample, slightly-undulating greens offer a variety of shapes, making for an interesting round. Water comes into play on two holes.

Ohio Golf Courses Comments:
This is another of Ohio golf courses built on gently rolling terrain. The narrow, tree-lined fairways are well-bunkered, and water hazards come into play on seven holes. The slow greens are medium-sized and undulating.

Ohio Golf Courses Comments:
This facility opened its back nine in the summer of 1997. The course is basically wide open, but there are some trees scattered about that could alter your shots. The small greens are undulating and difficult to read. The terrain is typically flat, and water hazards (ponds) come into play on a few holes. Just one of so many nice Ohio golf courses.
