Beautiful day to hike at the Nature Center. It's sunny and 50 degrees in December. They will have their Winter Hike tonight and you will be able to go on a short hike thru the woods , enjoy some Wassil by the Fire at the Abner Hollow Cabin , see lots of stars and maybe a planet looking thru some huge telescopes. It's a different look walking the trails in the winter. This place is very well taken care of . They have a wonderful gift shop that sells some Rookwood Pottery and Charlie Harper items and lots of other unique gifts , just in time for Christmas. I also love sitting in the library by the cozy fire . You can also get a coffee or tea , just pay $ 1.00 at the gift shop .

We return to the Harmony Hill Vineyard every Year for the Saturday after Thanksgiving wine tasting. Chat with the very approachable vintner owner; learn about the process and the trials and tribulations. Come away with a reverence for the passion, commitment, the sacrifice and the man. A "burden of dreams." If you have an interest and appreciation for wine you will enjoy the experience. Highest recommendation.

This drive in is very well maintained. The parking area is graveled and the movie screen is in good shape. The bathrooms were clean, the stalls are really small, but they are clean. The concession stand was always busy, but the line goes rather fast. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. You just can't beat paying one price to see 2 movies. This is a great activity for kids.
4. Tri-State Warbird Museum

The Tri-State Warbird Museum was formed in 2003 with a commitment to preserve the aircraft of World War II, educate our visitors on America's role in WWII, and to honor the veterans who fought and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Looking for someplace local that's Patriotic, Historic, Educational & Fun to take your family? This is the place.
The planes are up close and personal as you walk up to and under them, and all the history on walls and in the smaller side rooms come to life if you're fortunate to be there when some older veterans are around to share stories.
It is not a huge museum, which is nice if you bring along an elderly family member or someone in a wheelchair, as they can see a lot but not have to spend a whole day which can be too long and tiring, and parking is right at the door.
I would recommend tours by Elder-care centers if they are looking for a place to take residents for an afternoon away from their nursing homes. They would love this place.
Donations support this wonderful facility - and are welcomed - and there's no pressure at all to do so, but after a visit you'll want to help preserve this museum for the future.

This is a museum of African culture that has been acquired during the missionary trips that are under the Comboni Missionaries. Neat little museum with plenty to see of the African continent. They also have a animated nativity during the holiday season. Neat little gem that most people don't even know exists!
6. East Fork State Park

What a wonderful camp ground. My wife and I camp during the week and found Eastfork to be a quiet restful campground near a lot of activities.
We found the camping sites to be deceiving. When a campsite backs up to the wood more often than not the site extends into the woods a good distance. Many great tent sites as well as full-service RV sites.
I would like to give this campground a higher rating but the shower house on ourarea only had one shower working on each side and the water ran and puddled in the main walkway in the shower area. The state released an extra 88 million for state park. Please us some of it to upgrade the shower houses.
I was told that the campground is noisy on the weekends as the campground fills up. My advice is to camp during the week.

We come here about once a month. The theater is clean, comfortable seats, the arm rests fold up to make double seats. We like to see 3D movies here. Good picture quality. I like the way they do snacks and drinks, self serve with free refills.

My husband and I took our girls here during a time the city was offering free admission. I honestly feel once you have seen it, there is no point in returning. It is neat reading some of the facts and seeing some of the antiques they have on display. The house itself is more museum than preservation of the time period. I wouldn't want to pay for admission, but to walk through it for free was worth it.
10. Elks Run Golf Course

Reviewed By David A - dublin,ohio
Nicely run public course but kind of out in the middle of nowhere.Had a groupon deal for fathers day present that included free range balls.Course was in pretty good shape for a public course. Biggest problem is the same with most public courses is that people just don't seem to want to fix ball marks.Layout and multiple tee options offer a nice round for most levels of golfers.A little confusing when you drive in that the carts are out by the main parking area but you then have to drive about 300 yards to get to the pro shop to check in.Not much else to do in the area so this sort of has to be your destination spot when you go. Fun course and enjoyable overall.
