19 Essential Historic Landmarks Around Ohio, Mapped
Ohio is known for our love of sports, our delicious Buckeyes and our rock and roll — but our incredible state is also bursting with history. Not only are we the birthplace of aviation, but we have also been home to several presidents and inventors and the site of plenty of historic battles.
There are hundreds of historic sites in Ohio that are waiting to share the stories of great people, places and events that made our home what it is today.
We rounded up 19 of the must-see attractions around the state, so you can get started on planning your historic tour of Ohio! Which landmark will you visit first?
The Arcade Cleveland opened in May of 1890 as the first indoor shopping center in America. It was designed by John M. Eisenmann and George H. Smith and financed by some of the most esteemed businessmen of the late 19th century, including John D. Rockefeller and Charles Brush. Today, the gorgeous building is one of Cleveland's most popular landmarks and premier destinations for shopping and dining. You can even stay in the luxurious Hyatt Regency Hotel that occupies the top three levels!
The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, named for the civil engineer who designed it in 1867, has been an iconic bridge along the Cincinnati skyline for nearly a century and a half. It was the first bridge to employ several new techniques, making it an engineering marvel during the time of its construction. When you're in the area, make sure to take a stroll across it to get a better look and mark the RoeblingFest on your calendar in June, when hundreds of Roebling enthusiasts come together to celebrate the landmark.

The Adena Mansion and Gardens | Chillicothe
The dramatic stone mansion on a hill north of Chillicothe, Ohio, was the home of Thomas and Eleanor Worthington and their 10 children in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Thomas Worthington was one of Ohio's first U.S. senators and served as the sixth governor of Ohio from 1814-1818. You can visit their incredible home which is surrounded by extensive gardens — that include a fruit tree orchard, grape vines and plots for vegetables — and get a unique view into 19th-century life.The Arcade | Cleveland
The Arcade Cleveland opened in May of 1890 as the first indoor shopping center in America. It was designed by John M. Eisenmann and George H. Smith and financed by some of the most esteemed businessmen of the late 19th century, including John D. Rockefeller and Charles Brush. Today, the gorgeous building is one of Cleveland's most popular landmarks and premier destinations for shopping and dining. You can even stay in the luxurious Hyatt Regency Hotel that occupies the top three levels!
The Birthplace of Thomas Edison | Milan
Thomas Alva Edison, inventor of the phonograph, the incandescent light bulb and many other devices that make our lives simpler, was born in Milan, Ohio in 1847. Visit the Edison Birthplace Museum and peruse their rare collection of Edison's early inventions, documents and family mementos. The museum is open February through December, so make sure to stop by the next time you're in the area to learn all about Thomas Edison's life and how he began the Age of Invention.Cincinnati Music Hall | Cincinnati
This famous music hall was originally built in 1878 with private money from what is believed to be the nation's first matching grant fund drive. It was recently reopened in October 2017 after an extensive renovation and is currently home to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, the Cincinnati Opera and the Cincinnati Ballet. You can find this remarkable structure in the heart of Over the Rhine right behind Washington Park, which is always bustling with fun events and festivals for you to enjoy!The Cincinnati Observatory | Cincinnati

In 1842, Cincinnati professor Ormsby MacKnight Mitchel had a dream: to build a local observatory in the heart of Cincinnati that would help expand astronomy research. He went door to door, soliciting $25 a piece to invest in his endeavor. Eventually, he was able to make his dream a reality, with the observatory building coming to fruition in 1843. The building served as a strictly research-focused center until 1999, when it was resurrected into a center for astronomy education. Today, the observatory is open to the public for tours during the week and public stargazing most Thursday and Friday evenings.The Cincinnati Zoo's Elephant and Reptile Houses | Cincinnati
The Cincinnati Zoo is home to two National Historic Landmarks, the Elephant House and the Reptile House. The Reptile House is the oldest zoo building in the world, built in 1875 in Turkish style. The building originally housed monkeys but is now home to more than 35 reptile species. The Elephant House, a Taj Mahal-looking structure, was constructed in 1906 atop the zoo's highest hill. The gorgeous building is one of the zoo's most popular destinations, home to several endangered Asian elephants.Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historic Park | Dayton
The Dayton Aviation Heritage Park is a national park that commemorates three important historical figures — Wilbur Wright, Orville Wright and poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. The park features several historical landmarks including the Wright Cycle Company Complex which is home to the Wright brother's last surviving bicycle shop, the Paul Laurence Dunbar State Memorial, the Huffman Prairie Flying Field and many others! Visit to learn all about these famous Dayton residents' lives and their massive impact on the world.Eldean Bridge | Miami County
Set amidst the backdrop of Miami County's vast farmland and the tree-lined Great Miami River, the Eldean Covered Bridge is one of only two covered bridges remaining in the area. While it was once the second longest of its kind in Ohio, it is the longest "Long Truss" covered bridge in the nation. Visitors are welcome and encouraged to cross over the bridge on foot or by car, but no matter how you decide to journey across, the gorgeous barn-red bridge will no doubt take you back to another time.View this post on Instagram
Fort Meigs State Memorial | Perrysburg
Fort Meigs was built during the War of 1812 along the Maumee River to provide a supply depot and staging point for United States military operations in Canada. Today, Fort Meigs is the site of a 65-acre park that includes a full-size 10-acre replica of the 1813 fort. If you're looking to get a taste of American history, you can visit the reconstructed fort any time you'd like! Bring the whole family and enjoy one of their battle reenactments or one of their historical demonstrations, which take place throughout the year.Hopewell Culture National Historical Park | Chillicothe
Along the landscape of the Ohio River Valley, you can find earthen mounds and embankments that come together to create geometric structures. These astonishing creations were built by local Native Americans almost 2,000 years ago. These natives called themselves the Hopewellians and they gathered at these earthworks for feasts, funerals and rites of passage. You can learn all about them, and see them in person, at the Hopewell Culture National Historical Park in Chillicothe.John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge | Cincinnati
The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, named for the civil engineer who designed it in 1867, has been an iconic bridge along the Cincinnati skyline for nearly a century and a half. It was the first bridge to employ several new techniques, making it an engineering marvel during the time of its construction. When you're in the area, make sure to take a stroll across it to get a better look and mark the RoeblingFest on your calendar in June, when hundreds of Roebling enthusiasts come together to celebrate the landmark.
The Great Serpent Mound | Peebles
This magnificent site features the world's largest serpentine effigy mound yet to be discovered. The mount winds through trees on a cliff overlooking the Bush Creek Valley in Adams County, averaging about 1,330 feet in length and three feet in height. Historians don't know why this great serpent exists, only that it might have been created by the Adena people over 2,100 years ago. The mysteries don't stop there, however. The ground under the mound is full of cave-like, hollow structures that puzzle historians and visitors alike. We might not ever solve all of the serpent's secrets, but one thing is for sure — it is really gorgeous to look at!McKinley Memorial | Canton
Former president William McKinley spent much of his life in Canton, where he practiced law and married his wife, Ida Saxton. The McKinley Monument is the final resting place for the 25th President of the United States and his wife. This breathtaking, round building is located in Canton, towering above the trees in Canton and settled at the top of 108 steps. If you're interested in learning more about President McKinley, head down the street to the McKinley Presidential Library & Museum, which serves as an educational center of history and science for both the local community and a global audience.View this post on Instagram
Mt. Pleasant Historic District | Mt. Pleasant
Not only is this district adorable, but it's also an area full of rich history. Mount Pleasant was founded in 1803 by anti-slavery Quakers and was a well-known safe haven for fugitive slaves on the Underground Railroad. The entire town is a must-see for anyone who loves history. We recommend stopping by the meeting house, where Ohio Quakers would meet once a year, and the Burris General Store, which was built in 1895, where you can get a look at all of the original equipment and pick up a souvenir! But, no matter what you decide to do while you're in the area, you should definitely take a moment to stroll along the quiet streets and look at the remarkable historic homes.The Ohio Statehouse | Columbus
The Ohio Statehouse is our state capitol building and is truly a magnificent sight to behold! Unlike many of the other states' capitol buildings, the Ohio Statehouse didn't take inspiration from the United States Capitol, because it was actually designed and built before the glorious building in D.C. was ever erected. Instead, it was built in the Greek Revival Style, with many features drawing inspiration from the Tholos of Delphi and the Parthenon of Athens. You can tour our historic capitol building for free — Monday through Friday every hour on the hour, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.The Ohio Theatre | Columbus
While this stunning theater is one of the state's most beautiful buildings, featuring Spanish-Baroque architecture with breathtaking details (including the 21-foot high chandelier!), it was created as "a palace for the average man." Thomas W. Lamp, the Scottish architect in charge of the Ohio Theatre project in the 1920s, envisioned a place where anyone, regardless of wealth or status, could go and see a film or a live performance. To put the finishing touches on the theater, they chose Ann Dornan, one of the first women to graduate from the Columbia School of Architecture, who traveled around the world to select art and furnishings. Today, you can experience all of the history and majesty at one of the 100+ performances the theater puts on each year.View this post on Instagram
Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial | Put-In-Bay
Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial was established to honor those who fought in the Battle of Lake Erie, during the War of 1812. And, to celebrate the long-lasting peace among Great Britain, Canada and the U.S., the Memorial, a Doric column that rises 352 feet over Lake Erie, is situated five miles from the longest undefended border in the world. For a truly incredible view, head up to the Observation Deck of the Memorial when you visit, where you can get a 360-degree view of the Lake Erie Islands and the shorelines of Ohio, Michigan and Ontario.Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens | Akron

Located in one of our favorite Akron neighborhoods, Merriman Valley, Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens is a prime example of the area's stunning architecture. The castle-like residence served as the home for Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company's founder Frank A. Seiberling and is a popular landmark and tourist attraction today.Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums | Fremont
Rutherford B. Hayes was the 19th president of the United States from 1877 to 1881, having also served as an American representative and governor of Ohio for several years. Shortly after his death in 1893, his son set about creating a museum and library as a memorial to his father in Hayes' home of Fremont, Ohio. You can visit the estate and museum Monday through Saturday and peruse artifacts from our former president's life. We recommend taking a picnic lunch and settling in a shaded spot on the lush grounds while soaking in the beauty and history of Fremont!Ready to explore?

The Newcomer's Guide to Cincinnati | 14 Things You Need to Know
Cincinnati is an amazing city nestled along the Ohio River. Known as the "Queen City," "Porkopolis," the "Paris of America," "The City of Seven Hills" and, of course, Cincy. We're a city full of history, sports, art and really good chili.
Cincinnati has definitely been growing in popularity, as it was named one of the best cities for nightlife and a top foodie city. Plus, it recently ranked close to the top of Liability's 2019 list of the best places in the United States to live. Our city offers plenty of great restaurants, picturesque parks, breweries, beautiful homes and a great community of residents — so we don't blame you for wanting to live here!
But before you make the move to our amazing city, there are a few things you should know. From our obsession with the Cincinnati Reds to our resident famous hippo, we've created a complete guide to help your transition into being a Cincinnatian a little easier!
When you move, you'll probably want to invest in a good ice scraper, snow boots, a raincoat, umbrella and a quality sunblock. Our weather rapidly changes, so don't be surprised if you get to experience all four seasons in just one week — it's all a part of being a true Cincinnatian!
Within just six hours, you could be in Indianapolis, Louisville, Nashville and so many other amazing road trip destinations! Plus, we're home to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, making us the perfect home base for travel lovers.
Cincinnati is home to some of the best food in the country. Not only have we been on countless best-of lists for our incredible restaurants, but we also offer unique and delicious takes on popular dishes. We love our Buckeyes, not just the team, but the to-die-for chocolate-covered peanut butter balls that are a staple at every get-together. Goetta, a combination of sausage and oats, is one of our classic favorites. And trying our famous chili (and smothering it on absolutely everything) — is a Cincinnatian rite of passage.
In the late 1800s, Cincinnati was nicknamed the "Paris of America" because of our gorgeous architecture that may or may not have had some influence from popular Parisian landmarks. The Apostolic Bethlehem Temple Church, Cincinnati City Hall, Cincinnati Music Hall and the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal are just some of the breathtaking Cincy landmarks that should be on your bucket list!
US News named Cincinnati as one of the 25 Best Affordable Places to Live in the U.S. in 2018, which is no surprise to us! For a big city, our living costs are much lower than the national average, allowing you to allocate funds towards more important things — like craft beer and chili.
The Cincinnati Basics:
- Estimated Population (2019): 301,301
- County: Hamilton County
- Land Area: 79.54 Square Miles
- Rainfall: 42.24 Inches
- Snowfall: 14 Inches
- Average Annual High Temperature: 64.8 Degrees
- Average Annual Temperature: 54.65 Degrees
- Average Annual Low Temperature: 44.5 Degrees
Manners are second nature
Just like Canadian's say "sorry" more often than necessary, Cincinnatians love to say "please". You'll often hear it in place of "excuse me", but we're known to say it in pretty much any other situation too. Maybe it's our Midwestern roots, or maybe it's because being friendly is in our DNA.Our weather is indecisive
When you move, you'll probably want to invest in a good ice scraper, snow boots, a raincoat, umbrella and a quality sunblock. Our weather rapidly changes, so don't be surprised if you get to experience all four seasons in just one week — it's all a part of being a true Cincinnatian!
But we still love the outdoors
Even with the ever-changing weather here in Cincy, we still love the outdoors. The Ohio River, the largest tributary of the Mississippi River, is located along our border and is truly a spectacular sight. If you love boating or want to take out the jet skis, you don't have to travel very far to enjoy all the river has to offer. Cincinnati also maintains a thriving park system that includes more than 100 parks and green spaces throughout our wonderful city. Plus — we have a ton of great options for rock climbers, golfers, skiers and campers!Our location is amazing
Within just six hours, you could be in Indianapolis, Louisville, Nashville and so many other amazing road trip destinations! Plus, we're home to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, making us the perfect home base for travel lovers.
You'll have to choose a side
The East Side vs. West Side debate is completely real, and deciding where your loyalties lie is an incredibly important decision you'll have to make when you move. The dividing line is either Interstate 75 or Vine Street, depending on who you ask, but both sides are completely unique and full of things to do and see.Our food scene is next level
Cincinnati is home to some of the best food in the country. Not only have we been on countless best-of lists for our incredible restaurants, but we also offer unique and delicious takes on popular dishes. We love our Buckeyes, not just the team, but the to-die-for chocolate-covered peanut butter balls that are a staple at every get-together. Goetta, a combination of sausage and oats, is one of our classic favorites. And trying our famous chili (and smothering it on absolutely everything) — is a Cincinnatian rite of passage.
...And our drink scene isn't too shabby either
Over the past few years, our city has experienced a resurgence in our drink and craft brewery scene, including the likes of Rhinegeist Brewery, Fifty West Brewing and plenty of other fantastic breweries in the area. Wine lovers will love Henke Winery, but if you're looking for something a bit stronger, head over the river for bourbon from the New Riff Distillery or the Boone County Distilling Company.We love to party

Because of our increase in breweries, bars and distilleries over the past few years — we've become a great place for nightlife. In fact, Apartment Guide just named us as one of the top 10 best cities for nightlife in America! Plus, we throw some of the best festivals in the country, including the gigantic Taste of Cincinnati, the Panegyri Greek Festival, and the Juneteenth Festival.You'll definitely become a sports fan
Sports are practically a religion in our neck of the woods, specifically baseball. Be prepared for the entire city to shut down on the Cincinnati Reds' opening day. We are also home to the Cincinnati Bengals, FC Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Cyclones and the Cincinnati Bearcats — so it's pretty impossible not to be a die-hard sports fan. Pretty soon you'll be painting your face, donning a jersey, and heading out to the Great American Ball Park just like the rest of us.We're home to the world's most famous hippo
Born prematurely in early 2017, Fiona the hippo gained national attention as workers at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens fought to keep her healthy. Today she's thriving, both in life and on social media, with hundreds of thousands of people keeping tabs on her daily activities.View this post on Instagram
