WRIGHT’S
WESTCOTT HOUSE
Completed in 1908, The
Westcott House is Frank Lloyd
Wright’s only Prairie Style home
in Ohio and one of the country’s
finest Wright house museums.
The Westcott House
underwent an inch-by-inch $5.3
million restoration in 2005 and
each of its features—from art
glass and original hardware
to hand-decorated walls and
massive urns—has been
returned to its 1908 appearance.

HERITAGE
CENTER MUSEUM
HARTMAN
ROCK GARDEN
CHAMPIONS
CENTER
The spectacular City Building &
Market built in 1890 is now home
to the Heritage Center Museum.
Extending an entire city block,
the Heritage Center houses an
extraordinary museum that
faithfully recounts the history
of America’s Heartland. Known
by architectural aficionados
for its stunning Richardsonian
Romanesque design, the Heritage
Center hosts approximately
30,000 visitors each year. Adults
and children alike are sure to
be fascinated by the exhibits on
display and you can’t beat the
admission cost…free!
What began as a modest concrete fish
pond in H.G. (Ben) Hartman’s back yard
is now revered as a folk art masterpiece.
The Hartman Rock Garden includes
over 250,000 individual stones that
combine a mixture of history, religion
and depression-era pop culture. Among
the Hartman Rock Garden’s many
unique attributes, the sheer scale of the
work and its contextual location in a
residential neighborhood, contributes
greatly to its status as an iconic
“outsider” art site. Fully restored by the
Kohler Foundation in 2009, the Garden
is open daily from dawn to dusk with no
admission charge.
The Champions Center – located
within the Clark County
Fairgrounds – is the Midwest’s
premier equine and expo center.
The center plays host to regional
and national equine shows,
specialty breed dog shows and
other special events. Check their
online schedule and make plans to
stop by for an event. Admission is
always free.

The David Crabill House is of late
Federal design. It is located in
Moorefield Township, Clark County,
Ohio, on the grounds of the Clarence J.

1825-1830 style architecture. It
was restored, starting in 1973, and was
open to the public after completion.
Built in the 1850s, the Gammon
House was an Underground
Railroad site. Originally owned
by a black abolitionist named
George Gammon, the famous stop
features secret passages leading

basement.

FISHING
Ohio’s oldest trout stream is the
Mad River. Stocking of this river
began in the late 1800s with
the introduction of brook trout.
Then in 1884, rainbow trout were
introduced to the stream; and in
1931, ODNR switched to stocking
brown trout in the stream. Today
the stream is stocked annually with
6”-8” brown trout to supplement
the population. Fly fishing is good
on the Mad River, as there are
good hatches of mayflies, caddis
flies, and other popular trout foods
throughout the spring, summer,
and fall months.
