Enjoy Some Retail Therapy
The hunt for the perfect gift is an unforgettable thrill — almost as much as giving it. The busy trek from one store to the next, exploring and rooting through shelves until you find that one item guaranteed to evoke a gasp from its recipient… That’s a feeling worth chasing over and over, and the shops and boutiques around Defiance County are the perfect venue for your next shopping excursion.
Located in historic Downtown Defiance, the Defiance Central Business District is home to more than 100 merchants including more than 40 locally owned retail shops. Spanning six blocks of preserved and restored historic buildings, these downtown shops are loaded with unique gifts, home décor, and great finds ranging from yesteryear’s treasures to handmade goods from local artisans.
