The city's charm and beauty have been showcased twice in major Hollywood motion pictures. In 1977 part of Harper Valley PTA starring Barbara Eden was filmed here. For the movie Lebanon, Ohio changed its name, but only for one week. It became Harper Valley Ohio. Two of the greatest features of the film, as far as our city is concerned, were the opening and closing credits. They were shown over beautiful helicopter shots of Lebanon and the surrounding area.

The Village Ice Cream Parlor was featured in one scene of the movie, with local residents serving as extras!

Milk Money was filmed here in Lebanon in the fall of 1993. Its stars were Melanie Griffith and Ed Harris. For this movie Lebanon not only changed its name, it changed states! For over a month all the signs in town read "Middleton, Pennsylvania." This included the large "Welcome to Lebanon, Ohio" sign in our town square.

Again, The Village Ice Cream Parlor on Broadway was used as a filming location.
