Ohio Has IT! is an organization created out of need and driven to succeed by

our depth,
character and value.
Whether you are looking for educational opportunities for students, experiential adventures for seniors or custom itineraries for your group’s unique
needs, Ohio Has IT! will provide you with all the tools needed to create
memorable and successful tours.
Our name is a point of pride. When we say we have “IT,” we’re talking about
a lot more than any one neat thing.
From big-city productions to historic outdoor dramas, Ohio brims with art
and culture. Discover magnificent gardens and modern galleries, handmade
baskets, pottery and music of every genre imaginable.
Our state’s love of sports will get your group in the game. Outdoor adventures,
water activities, ziplining and the roar of our twin stadiums are guaranteed to
thrill.
Ohio flows with rich heritage and historic experiences. Our state is the birthplace of football and aviation, the home of rock and roll and, by contrast, the
quiet and subdued charms of thriving Amish communities.
Regardless of your group’s age range, Ohio has plenty to bring out its inner
child. Roller coaster adventures, wildlife encounters, safaris and water parks
are just some of the experiences that will make anyone feel like a kid again.
We are arts and culture, sports, history and heritage and family fun all rolled
up into one magnificent treasure of a state, with five complementary yet
distinct regions that are as welcoming as they are complex.
That is “IT.” Well, in a nutshell.

Northwest
History and haunts
Heritage and spooky tales
go hand in hand in Northwest Ohio
The past and ghosts are alive and
well in Northwest Ohio.
For example, strange blue lights
have been seen around Perrysburg’s Fort Meigs, known as
Ohio’s War of 1812 Battlefield.
The blockhouse is said to be a
very haunted part of the reconstructed fort, open from April to
October. Garrison ghost walks
take place in the fall, while staff
members routinely tell ghost stories on the walking tours.
Fort Meigs, Perrysburg
Back in 1813, Fort Meigs successfully withstood two sieges by
a combined British, Canadian and
Native American force.
The visitor center and museum
is open year-round and explains
Ohio’s pivotal role in the War of
1812.
Ghostly Manor Thrill Center in
Sandusky welcomes groups to
its haunted houses and X-D 4-D
Theatre. Prepare for eerie, bone-
12
Ghostly Manor Thrill Center in
Sandusky
chilling frights. Groups not into
super scary can try the attraction’s wizard-themed 3-D black
light mini golf.
Bowling Green Convention and
Visitors Bureau offers a dark tour
that includes allegedly haunted locations such as Holcomb Woods,
Wood County Historical Museum
and sites at Bowling Green State
University.
Northwest Ohio also offers plenty
of history without ghosts.
Fun in the past is the tagline at
Sauder Village, Ohio’s largest
living history village. Costumed
interpreters and artisans at the
site near Archbold depict rural
life in the 19th and early 20th
centuries. Group tours can be customized with a special workshop,
lecture or guided tour.
Perry’s Victory and International
Peace Memorial on South Bass
Island is the only international
peace memorial in the U.S. National Park System.
After serving as the 19th U.S.
president from 1877 to 1881,
Rutherford B. Hayes returned to
Sauder Village, Archbold
Hayes Presidential Center home,
Fremont
his home in Fremont, the seat of
Sandusky County. Groups visiting
the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center can tour the Hayes
Home, restored to its 19th-century appearance in 2012, the Hayes
Museum and the president’s
burial site.
Firelands Museum in the Huron
County city of Norwalk was established in 1857, making it Ohio’s
oldest museum. Displays present
antique guns, pioneer farm and
household implements, textiles,
paintings, china, glassware and
Civil War and prehistoric Native
American artifacts.
Rossford, now known for Hollywood Casino Toledo, got its start
due to glass. In 1898, Edward
Ford of the Libbey-Owens-Ford
Glass Company purchased property along the Maumee River to
build the plate glass company.
Ford named the resulting town
that formed around the factory
Rossford by combining the last
name of his second wife, Caroline
Ross, with his. A memorial honors
Ford.
Itinerary
Sparkle on
Northwest
Encounter gems of agriculture, glass and
nature in Northwest Ohio
Day One
Tilton Farm: Travel back in time at this
agricultural destination, located in Allen
County and open to groups by appointment. Visit the Tilton Circus (a room-size
3/4-inch scale circus); 19th-century barn
and cabins filled with antiques and collectibles; and the carriage house showcasing
antique vehicles.
MacDonell House Victorian Mansion:
Take a guided tour of this mansion with 17
rooms furnished in grandiose style, reminiscent of the wealthy oil-boom era in Allen
County. Built in 1893, the MacDonell
House is one of few remaining examples of
Victorian architectural elegance that once
marked an area known as the “Golden
Block” in Lima.
Steiner Stock Farm: The farm in Lima
includes 200 acres and runs about 50
brood mares. A guided tour offers a glimpse
into the daily procedures of a working stock
farm. Take a peek at the horse farm lifestyle
as the group goes behind the scenes to
explore and visit with the premier Standardbred horse farm in Ohio. Appropriate
clothing for the season and comfortable
closed-toe shoes are required.
Day Two
Tiffin Glass Museum: On display at the
museum is glassware produced at the Tiffin
factory from its beginning in 1889 as the
A. J. Beatty & Sons Company until the end
of production in 1980 as the Tiffin Glass
Company. Many pieces are on loan from
members of the Tiffin Glass Collectors
Club. Old tools, photographs and memorabilia can also be seen at the Seneca County
attractions. Tours are welcome and should
be arranged in advance. The adjacent glass
shop has thousands of items of Tiffin glass
for sale. Crystal Traditions of Tiffin offers
tours of glassmaking and a retail showroom
in one location.
Fostoria: Glass collectors, train enthusiasts
and history buffs all find something to love
in Fostoria. The glass museum, operated by
the Fostoria Glass Society of America, displays items produced by the Fostoria Glass
Company (1887–1986). Groups can also
visit the Fostoria Area Historical Society Museum, which has in its collection a vintage
automobile produced by the now-defunct,
Fostoria-based Allen Motor Car Co.
Seneca Caverns: The guided walking tour
at the cavern in Bellevue goes through
seven rooms or levels. At the lowest level,
110 feet below the surface, visitors view
“Ole Mist’ry River,” the clear stream that is
part of the area’s groundwater system. Reservations are accepted for groups of 15 or
more with two weeks’ advance reservation.
Seneca Caverns is closed from November
through April.
Day Three
Toledo Zoo: Adventure reigns year-round
at the zoo, which offers habitats ranging from the Arctic tundra to the wilds of
Africa. New at the zoo is Penguin Beach,
offering viewing of penguins from above,
underwater and right through the exhibit.
The Toledo Zoo Aquarium will have a grand
re-opening on March 27, 2015. Although
the aquarium’s historic WPA architecture is
being preserved, the interior will be completely remodeled. Special rates are available
for groups of 20 or more.
Glass Museum, Tiffin
Toledo Museum of Art Cloister
Toledo Zoo
Toledo Museum of Art & Glass Pavilion:
The museum is known for its art collection,
sustainability practices, visual language and
art education initiatives. Toledo is the birthplace of the studio glass movement and the
museum keeps that heritage alive with daily
glassblowing demonstrations and hands-on
glassblowing experiences.

Sun-soaked adventures in
Northwest Ohio
Refreshing breezes. Warm sand. The soothing sound
of water meeting the shore. The beaches and islands
of Northwest Ohio provide these experiences plus
legendary rollercoaster rides at Cedar Point and indoor waterpark fun at Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky.
Grand Lake St. Marys was constructed in 1845 as
a feeder lake for the Miami-Erie Canal. Now Ohio’s
largest inland lake, it covers 13,500 acres in Mercer
and Auglaize counties and is a prime spot for boating, fishing and birding. The lake even has three
lighthouses.
Lake Erie Shores & Islands boasts three jewel-like
islands: Kelleys, Middle Bass and South Bass.
For biking, hiking and paddling excursions, head to
Kelleys Island, the state’s largest and known as Lake
Erie’s Emerald Isle. The glacial grooves on the north
side of Kelleys Island are the largest easily accessible
grooves of their kind in the world, a reminder of the
ice age.
Put-in-Bay Tour Trains offers a variety of packages for
groups visiting South Bass Island and its Victorian-era
village of Put-in-Bay. All packages include round-trip
ferry transportation and a one-hour narrated historical
tour train with photo opportunities at South Bass Island Lighthouse and Perry’s Victory and International
Peace Memorial, which honors those who fought in
the Battle for Lake Erie in the War of 1812.

Cleveland Skyline

As Cleveland’s magnificent skyline
twinkles in the distance, other
urban destinations in Northeast
Ohio shine. Meanwhile, Amish
communities maintain a luster all
their own.
The Cleveland suburb of Beachwood is an ideal Northeast Ohio
tour hub. While in town, take a
guided tour of Beachwood Cemetery, where veterans of the Revolutionary War through World War II
have been laid to rest.
Midway between Cleveland and
Sandusky is Lorain County, known
for its Underground Railroad and
stained glass church tours.
In greater Akron, groups find the
legacy of pioneering industrialists reflected in historic estates
and museums like the Hower
House and the Stan Hywet Hall &
Gardens along with great shopping
and dining.
Farther northeast, in neighboring
Trumbull and Geauga counties, is
the second largest Amish population in the state. Other tour options
in Trumbull include a stroll along
Millionaires Row in the Mahoning Avenue Historic District. In
Geauga, fall colors are particularly
breathtaking on a driving tour. Step
into the shoes of suffragette
22
Harriet Taylor Upton whose home
was used at the turn-of-the-century
as headquarters for the National
American Women’s Suffrage Association.
To the north along Lake Erie, Lake
County boasts 3,500 acres of display gardens within its arboretum
as well as a distinct New England
vibe and fantastic microbreweries
and distilleries.
In Tuscarawas County, the elegant
J.E. Reeves Victorian Home and
Museum and the Historic Schoenbrunn Village offer glimpses of two
very different historic lifestyles.
Farther east, kick back on a
60-minute Atwood Lake excursion
onboard the Atwood Queen Cruise
Boat in Carroll County.
Medina County is nearer Akron
and Cleveland. It is home to splendid Victorian architecture, an internationally famous candle making
facility and Castle Noel, America’s
largest indoor, year-round Christmas entertainment attraction
in Medina. In addition, holiday
shoppers and bargain hunters of
all seasons must visit Lodi Station
Outlets in Lodi, a 311,478-squarefoot mall offering fantastic deals
on name brand apparel as well as
classic train rides from late May to
November.
South of Medina, visitors find the
crossroads of culture and countryside in Wayne County. To find
just about any life-simplifying
gadget one can think of, look no
further than Lehman’s in Kidron,
a 35,000-square-foot home retail
store family owned since 1955.
For a blast from the past, check
out the Soda Pop Shop, which
pours over 70 varieties of root beer.
Nearby Holmes County, home of
the world’s largest Amish community, treats groups to buggy rides
and home-cooked meals. Make
time for a meal at Berlin Farmstead Restaurant and feast on the
signature broasted chicken and real
mashed potatoes.
Immediately to the west, explore
the Ashland area. Its big event
draw is the Antique Tractor &
Engine show, held annually the
second weekend in July. From July
2–5, the Ashland BalloonFest will
color the sky for its 25th year.
In the Youngstown and Mahoning
County area, the Butler Institute of
American Art is the first museum
in the nation dedicated to housing
works created solely by American
artists. Art classes for groups are
available.

Heritage and history attractions
withstand test of time
Northeast Ohio has a rich and varied history,
one shaped by Native Americans, early settlers
and prominent industrialists.
Akron, Dover, New Philadelphia and Steubenville all contain important chapters of this
fascinating region’s tale.
In Akron, see two grand estates different in
style, but similar in spectacle.
Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens is a massive country estate anchored by a 65-room Tudor Revival
manor house. The property, formerly owned by
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. co-founder F.A.
Seiberling, also includes about 70 acres of landscaped grounds and formal gardens.
Hower House, preserved by The University of
Akron, is a Second Empire Italianate structure
built in 1871 by John Henry Hower and wife
Susan Youngker Hower. The 28-room Victorian
mansion is filled with unique artifacts collected
by the family during their world travels. Holiday
tours begin in early November.
Lavish Victorian splendor is also found in Dover
with a visit to the J.E. Reeves Victorian Home,
owned by the Dover Historical Society. Original
furniture and antiques in the 17-room home
have been arranged as Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah
E. Reeves would have had them 100 years ago.
The adjoining Carriage House Museum contains
vintage vehicles including the family’s hansom,
sleigh, electric car and a restored doctor’s buggy.
Groups see Ohio through the eyes of settlers
and Native Americans at Schoenbrunn Village
in New Philadelphia. Highlights of the recreated
village include cabins, a school, a church and the
original cemetery.
Along the Ohio River, Steubenville welcomes
groups to explore Historic Fort Steuben, a fully
reconstructed 18th-century fort, and the First
Federal Land Office. The original fort was built in
1786 by the First American Regiment to protect
surveyors.

Hyatt on Capitol Square, Columbus
For an uptick in experiential travel,
put on the brakes in Central Ohio.
Pick a niche to explore, then follow its theme in the capital and
beyond into the collar counties.
Experience Columbus works with
groups to customize itineraries
that go behind the scenes or answer questions like, “How did they
do that?” as in getting a ball into a
whistle or a yummy filling into the
center of a truffle.
Making memories is the plan for
groups visiting Hilliard. For its itineraries, Destination Hilliard zeroes
in on its heritage and opportunities for adventure. If the timing is
right, the group will be in town for
an area festival.
The idea of memory making plays
well in Grove City where the CVB
combines visits with artists with
an art lesson and puts international destinations on cooking class
menus.

in Central Ohio
Step on guides narrate covered
bridge tours at any time of the
year in Fairfield County. The Bureau also arranges guides for tours
of the 19th-century mansions in
Lancaster’s historic district.
In Dublin, guides lead groups
through this Irish-centric city with
opportunities for 30 Irish experiences and, if the dates are right,
the Dublin Irish Festival. With any
luck, all will leave with a bit of a
brogue or at least toasting with a
hearty, Slainte!
Toasting is part of the tasting in
the vineyards in Union County
where the CVB creates customized
tours with an agri-tourism touch.
Knox County Convention & Visitors Bureau invites groups to embrace the agricultural heritage of
the area in its museums, along its
rail-to-trail system and in gardens
where horticultural opportunities
abound. Check the calendar for
dates of the Knox County Barn
Tour.
Antiquing usually heads the list
for shopping groups in Delaware
County and the CVB is pleased to
oblige with a customized itinerary
that includes stops within the historic district and a visit by a First
Lady costumed interpreter.
In Marion County, fun is always
poppin’. Choose an itinerary
that includes dinner theater and
themed tours, such as tea and
tractors and a museum about
popcorn.
The Greater Licking County CVB
won’t be outdone for fun as it has
itineraries that request groups to

stops to museums, a winery and,
of course, for ice cream.

Farm to table experiences
await in Central Ohio
Central Ohio takes food stops up a notch.
Whether visiting the source of their meal, seated
at a family-style dinner or discovering markets in
the capital, this region revels in opportunities for
groups to step into the wonderful world of food.
One of the tastiest ways to tour Gahanna is
along the city’s Herbal Trail, which includes opportunities from sampling fresh herbs to cooking
classes. The Gahanna Convention & Visitors
Bureau lists 45 culinary and shopping venues
within the city limits including acres of themed
herbal collections, such as the Culinary Garden
and the Biblical Garden. All contribute to its wellearned moniker, the Herb Capital of Ohio.
Garden fresh ingredients are the only kind used
in the kitchen at Der Dutchman Restaurant in
Plain City. A gathering spot for locals as well as
groups, family-style meals are most popular with
the Barn-Raising Buffet a close second. Both
spotlight classics like meatloaf, fried chicken and
mashed fresh potatoes.
Der Dutchman makes all of its baked goods
including many with Ohio’s Amish Country roots
like Dutch apple pie. Carlisle Gifts is adjacent to
the restaurant.
Experiential food opportunities are found
throughout the capital, Columbus. One of the
suggested itineraries from Experience Columbus
is a guided tour around North Market. Groups
literally taste their way through the history of
the public markets in the city. And get first-hand
reports from local growers and farmers that are
met along the way.

Southwest Ohio communities
were forged in the frontier and
crafted with heartland values.
This is a place of stories.
The French explorers who arrived
in the 16th century inspired the
name of Clermont County, birthplace of Ulysses S. Grant. Miami
County, home to the former largest manufacturer of civil aircraft
in the United States, honored the
Native Americans who called this
area home.
Many counties were named
for Revolutionary War heroes.
Clinton County’s namesake was
George Clinton, fourth U.S. vice
president. With a new geocaching trail, Clinton County offers the
chance to learn about its history,
both cultural and natural.
Another place where history is
waiting to be discovered, Fayette
County, was settled by Civil War
veterans from Virginia. Warren
County, best known as the home
of King’s Island theme park and
Cincinnati Premium Outlets,
takes its name in honor of Dr.
Joseph Warren, the hero who
sent Paul Revere on that midnight ride.
50
Cincinnati’s leaders chose their
name as a nod to George Washington, the man considered as
great a speaker as the Roman
statesman Cincinnatus. Dayton’s
namesake was Jonathan Dayton,
the youngest man to sign the
Declaration of Independence.
collection of museums exploring the stories of history and
science. A visit gives a deeper
understanding of the region’s role
in the path to freedom — and
the role the Ohio River played
in slaves crossing from south to
north.
Just as the people of Southwest
Ohio are proud of their connection to the founding fathers,
they’re as proud of their connection to the fathers of flight. The
Wright Brothers tinkered in their
Dayton bicycle shop and ended
up conquering the skies. One
museum shows how scientists
and engineers took the steps to
go from the Wright Flyer to the
moon.
For more of the story, make a
visit to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center
and take a tour of the historic
sites along the Clermont County
Freedom Trail.
For generations, Southwest Ohio
has been a destination at the
crossroads; steamboats along
the Ohio River, cars along the
highway, planes in the sky and
rockets in space all have a connection to the region. Cincinnati’s Union Terminal once hosted
railroad passengers on the way
east or west. Today, the art deco
building is home to the Cincinnati Museum Center, a dynamic
There is plenty to please shoppers,
foodies, music fans and gamers.
In Butler County, shop at Ohio’s
only Ikea and follow the foodies
to Jungle Jim’s International Market. Darke County is home to the
KitchenAid Experience retail center, another foodie favorite.
After dark, a performance of the
Cincinnati Symphony and POPS
Orchestra or gaming at Horseshoe Casino complements the
day’s adventures.

Guernsey County
Southeast Ohio was the first part
of the Buckeye State to be settled
and is still filled with reminders of
its storied past.
The region is made up of rugged
and hilly country, with the foothills
of the Appalachian Mountains
beginning there.
Whether enjoying the many outdoor recreation options, discovering historic places or admiring
artworks from local crafters,
groups will feel welcome in Southeast Ohio.
Cambridge/Guernsey County,
also known as the “Crossroads of
America” is nestled at the intersection of Interstates 70 and 77.
The county is home to Ohio’s largest state park, Salt Fork and the
state’s third largest lake, Seneca
Lake. In addition to the various
recreational activities available
for visitors year-round, national
attention is gained annually as
visitors flock there to enjoy the
Dickens Victorian Village and the
Official Paul Bunyan Show. Other
special events, such as Ohio’s only
outdoor passion play, the Living
Word Outdoor Drama, also draw
visitors.
Nearby, Zanesville/Muskingum
County offers history of its own.
Muskingum County was home to
the nation’s first highway, the National Road, and celebrates that
history at the National Road-Zane
Grey Museum. The county is also
known for its crafters, as Zanesville was once referred to as the
“Pottery Capital of the World” and
still has nine pottery companies
in the area. Every year in July,
pottery lovers collect in Muskingum County for Pottery Lover’s
Week when various auctions,
festivals and signings take place.
Muskingum County is also known
for its baskets and is home to the
largest manufacturer of handmade
baskets in the United States, The
Longaberger Company, as well as
the world’s largest basket.

Ohio River. Called the Portsmouth
Murals, tours can watch the artist in action from May through
September.

groups find many destinations
to celebrate the area’s heritage.
Chillicothe was the state’s first
capital and was home to four Ohio
governors. Groups can witness
the “Tecumseh!” Outdoor Drama
and learn the epic story of the
