America has no shortage of major cities and tourist-heavy destinations that draw in millions of visitors every year, and while always deserving of a visit, it's worth noting how the small towns found throughout the country add character and flavor to the U.S.

Ohio is home to some noteworthy small towns, destinations that offer a quiet beauty thanks to the natural scenery, friendly atmosphere and one-of-a-kind attractions that shine bright enough to draw visitors in to experience something they may not find in a bigger city.

LoveExploring compiled a list of the "most charming small city" in every state, ranking the destinations that "offer the culture, charm, and character" of big cities but with a more "laid-back" vibe. According to the site, the top choice for Ohio is Oxford. This spot has charm in spades — "quaint" streets filled with eclectic shops and eateries, unique attractions, and "scenic" areas perfect to enjoy a sunny day outside.

Here's what LoveExploring had to say about this spot full of "small city charm":

"This lively Midwestern city is home to Miami University, founded in 1809, with a scenic campus of red-brick buildings and leafy spots perfect for reading. Downtown, boutiques, and cafés line the quaint high street, which hosts a popular wine festival each spring. Woodlands and trails around the city also make it a great base for hikers and bikers."
