Ohio is no stranger to great music with musicians like John Legend, Doris Day, Boz Scaggs, Dave Grohl, and so many more all hailing from the midwestern state.

Or maybe you want to take a trip to Dayton, known as The Birthplace of Aviation, and visit the famed National Museum of the US Air Force. Or check out the Cincinnati Museum Center which is a multi-museum complex located in Union Terminal and gives visitors an experience that could last days, given there are more than 1.8 million artifacts to view.

  • Tantalizing German fare is best enjoyed at one of Ohio’s most famous restaurants, Schmidt’s Sausage Haus
  • For BBQ as delectable as what you’ll find in the south, head over to Uncle Beth’s BBQ in North Lewisburg
