Culture

Quaker City is located just northeast of Seneca Lake, and south of the site of the former Paradise Lake amusement park. The amusement park operated in the early 1980s, but by the late 1990s it had become an adult bookstore. Other changes had been made in the village in the early 2000s, including the new ownership of the town grocery store.

Every year, during the weekend after July 4th, The Ohio Hills Folk Festival takes place, usually for four days, Wednesday through Saturday. Craft halls, flea markets, carnival rides, and carnival food can be found at the Folk Festival.

In 2004, voters in the village passed a law that would allow the sale of alcohol within village limits, thus bringing an end to Quaker City's status as a dry town.
