Welcome to the OHIO HISTORY CONNECTION’S TRAVELER’S GUIDE!

This third edition includes interesting stories and places that tell the rich history of Ohio. Whether you are 8 or 80, Ohio’s history is your history –and Ohio History Connection sites are the perfect destinations to learn about your home state

I hope that you will use this guide to make new discoveries, plan fun adventures and create lasting memories.

I also would encourage you to explore our state all year long. Hike some of Ohio’s most beautiful nature preserves covered in snow. Learn about state history in the cool air-conditioning of our museums. Watch the leaves change colors in the fall just as ancient American Indians would have thousands of years ago.

History has no season, and neither does travel.

If you’re planning to visit several of our historic sites and museums (and I hope you are!), I recommend purchasing an Ohio History Connection membership. A membership is your personal passport to history, with free regular admission to our 50-plus sites throughout Ohio, as well as other benefits and discounts.

If you are visiting a site, attending an event or becoming a member, thank you. Your support helps us preserve and share Ohio’s stories with future generations.

Now it’s time to get out there and explore. Safe travels!
