President [[Ulysses S. Grant]] grew up and attended grade school in Georgetown. The school house is still in the town, where the locals refer to it as the [[Grant Schoolhouse]]. Also in Georgetown are [[Ulysses S. Grant Boyhood Home|Grant's childhood home]] and the [[Tanning (leather)|tannery]] that his father owned across the street. All three are stops on the Land of Grant tour.

Being the county seat, Georgetown hosts the large Brown County Fair and parade which brings in thousands of patrons from other towns. The headstone of General [[Thomas L. Hamer]] is in the old cemetery located by the Brown County Fair Grounds.

Seventeen acres of the city was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1978 as the [[Georgetown Historic District (Georgetown, Ohio)|Georgetown Historic District]].<ref>{{NRISref|version=2009a}}</ref>
