Chardon is named after Peter Chardon Brooks, who donated land to build the historic Chardon Square. A city in Geauga County, Ohio, today the city remains a town rich in history and culture. Its public square is surrounded by government offices and quaint shops. Known for its maple syrup industry, a celebration of the syrup season begins in March. The annual Geauga County Maple Festival is a four-day celebration that takes place in Chardon Square on the last weekend in April.
For performing arts buffs, this city also has an active performance art community. The Geauga Lyric Theater Guild is housed in the renovated Geauga Theater building, constructed in 1939 as an art deco movie house. Located to the south of Lake Erie, Chardon is also home to many parks and golf courses, and there are sports and activities every season.
