    We stopped by here on our way through the area - and we were glad we did. We got a guided walk through the house with all sorts of history shared by the guide. The museum portion upstairs has a lot of interesting artifacts from the Civil War and regarding General Sherman. (They even have his saber on display!) It doesn't take long to go through it but the price is right - if you enjoy history, you won't be disappointed.

    We had a wonderful experience and time.
    The owners were awesome. They are very knowledgeable and answered all questions. They were very friendly and had a lot of patience’s with our kids. I wish we lived closer so we could have our kids birthday parties there. All of the animals were friendly and awesome to see, pet and feed!!! For those with kids they have a very clean bathroom also.

    A local shop owner suggested RIsing Park to us. The wonderful view of Lancaster, the Hocking Hills, and the distant Columbus skyline was a nice surprise!

    It's a fascinating place. Small museum & lovely gift shop. If you're interested in U.S. history of industry, glassware, aestetics. Go see this place.

    We always enjoy visiting the Decorative Arts Center. During our recent visit, we loved the lower level exhibit of Shag (Josh Agle), a painter, designer and illustrator. His artwork has a ’60s style that goes with the Mod exhibition upstairs. I especially enjoyed the video, where Shag demonstrates how he creates art using Corel software, talks about his influences and shows the silkscreen production process.

    Looking for something to do near Hocking Hills on a day we were not hiking or biking. Would highly recommend. We toured this house and the General Sherman museum. Vey interesting. Excellent guide and very friendly staff. I like museums with a docent that tells you the info rather than reading signs/displays. Glad we went.

    Great getaway with delicious home brews and lovely country setting. Lots of outdoor and indoor seating and they have a separate building for private events

    The Olde Shoe Factory Antique Mall is housed in an antique building built in 1899 by the Fairfield Shoe Company. An eclectic blend of chaos and organization, it is a large building that has been converted into a sizable antique mall stuffed full of fascinating vintage and antique items. Many of the items are from the local Hocking Glass Company, later named Anchor Hocking Glass. It is easy to lose track of time as you wander around the many and various displays set up by individual collectors. Prices are very reasonable. Parking can be a little tricky and you will probably have to find a parking place on the street, but I have always been able to find a spot close. It is a great way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy day.

    The volunteers are very dedicated and make things interesting by explaining the history and the construction of the mill. It became near closing time and they did not rush us out to close. Beautiful in the fall!

    Christmas Rocks State Nature Preserve is beautiful with a well-maintained trail with easy markers to follow. About 554-acres. It has a long history of Native American occupation. The Hopewell and Adena peoples inhabited the region thousands of years ago, leaving behind evidence of their presence in the form of burial mounds and earthworks. The coolest spot at Christmas Rocks is the scenic vista from the top of the formation known as Jacob’s Ladder. This Black Hand Sandstone formation towers 250 feet above the valley of Arney Run. And it’s quite a hike to get up there. But totally worth it. There are two small parking areas, and you have to hike about a half mile along an access road before you enter the state preserve. TY OH

    I’m not much of a beer person, but I went to Double Edge a few weeks ago for their Rock and Roll Bingo event. Had a great time! Staff was great—helped me find something that I liked to drink. They don’t serve food here, but sometimes have a food truck in the parking lot. You can also carry in food. I had a great time and would go back.
