20 Reasons We Love Ohio

You'll love Ohio's metro attractions that rock (literally!) or how you can lull the day away in the sand and surf of the Lake Erie shore.

Zoar's historic charm

In 1817, German immigrants founded this communal village. To pay for their land -- 5,500 acres -- the Zoarites hand-dug a seven-mile stretch of the Ohio and Erie Canal near their village. Today, Zoar (population: 193; 75 miles south of Cleveland) has evolved into a tranquil Middle America town with busy residents and a strong historical character. Visitors can take a guided tour of the village, stroll among quality antiques shops and historical homes, and sleep in simple, classic-style B&Bs. (330) 874-2646; zca.org
