Ohio never let itself get stuck in the past. Places like Cleveland and Cincinnati helped forge the industrial age, but when the industries hit hard times, they managed to exchange rusting factories for gleaming city centers. And in this, the age of computers, Columbus has created some of the highest tech in the country. The new and old make first-rate travel attractions. Visitors can also go from serene countryside, traditional crafts and the decidedly unmodern Amish to trendy entertainment zones and interactive museums. Dont miss the attractions like the Lake Erie Islands, whose beaches and waters are appealing no matter which century you're feeling partial to.
