Once a thriving steel town, Youngstown suffered an economic decline immortalized in song by Bruce Springsteen.

Dozens of galleries, museums, performance venues and historic sites celebrate the culture of the area. Miles of hiking trails and green spaces offer energetic activities to active travelers. Sports are also highly valued, Youngstown being home to a host of pro athletes.

1. The Butler Institute of American Art

The Butler was a perfect choice for two couples meeting up from two different neighboring states and spending some safe time together during these COVID times. We spent nearly 4 hours wandering through the museum, enjoying the art, both contemporary and 19th and 20th century traditional works. Among the traditional artists were Edward Hopper, John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer, the Wyeths, Norman Rockwell, Albert Bierstadt, Childe Hassam, Gari Melchers, Frederick Frieseke; Vincent Van Gogh, and Georgia O’Keeffe. The Contemporary galleries feature some interesting works, as does the temporary galleries. A gallery of Western art contains mostly portrait paintings by Elbridge Ayer Burbank and Joseph Sharp. Really a fabulous collection! Free admission makes this an ideal place to spend a couple hours or more to see it all. And during these COVID times, entrance to the museum requires a temperature check, mask, and social distancing. Keeping the museum safe and clean was evident from the time we walked in the front door. Kudos also to the museum staff who were all quite friendly and helpful.

I love Mr. Darby's. The clerks, and owners are so nice to talk with, and the store has the neatest items to buy. When I go there I see something that reminds me of memories of being a little girl. Bob the owner is very nice, and his mom is so pleasant when she waits on you. I have never had a problem when shopping there. If you are looking for something very unique stop at Mr. Darby's and check out what they have to offer. You will never be disappointed!!!
