The Eaton Ohio Lifestyle
Steve Hafle is a native of Preble
County and knows Eaton Ohio like the back of his hand. He
lives just outside of Eaton because he likes the lifestyle
that
it has
to offer.
Eaton is the county seat of Preble County Ohio. With
a population of only 8,133, it still has the small-town charm
that so many people are looking for these days.
With an extremely low crime rate, residents never worry
about walking (day or night) to get an ice cream at the local
ice cream shop. Many still leave their doors unlocked
at night. Families do things together, such as exercising
at the local YMCA, attend little league games, or help out
with a committee for one of the many local activities that
attract much attention throughout the summer.
