As the home of Kings Island, Great Wolf Lodge, The Beach Waterpark and Ozone Zipline Adventures, Warren County is the ulti­mate fam­ily get­away — not far away. Located between Cincinnati and Dayton, Warren County has a num­ber of spring get­away pack­ages that are sure to make mom (and the kids) smile.

A new exhibit focused on flight nurses dur­ing World War II opened March 3 at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.

March is an espe­cially excit­ing time in Ohio, as the birth of spring offers a num­ber of ways vis­i­tors can enjoy the sea­son in full bloom. Gather the fam­ily together and cel­e­brate the luck o’ the Irish in Dublin — Ohio, that is. Explore the sur­real inter­ac­tion between humans and ani­mals through Francisco Toledo’s art­work in the Glass City or flock to Hinckley for the return of one of Ohio’s most famous nat­ural phe­nom­ena. Or, if you’re look­ing to be inspired by true girl power, com­mem­o­rate Women’s History Month in the heart of the state’s capital.

In keep­ing with Black History Month, it seemed entirely appro­pri­ate to come across a post on Hubbard House, a ter­mi­nus on the Underground Railroad in Ashtabula Ohio, over at MidwestGuest’s travel blog.

African Americans have helped shape Ohio’s his­tory and cul­ture through sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tions to the arts, music, pol­i­tics, human­i­tar­ian efforts and more. During Black History Month, Ohio trav­el­ers are invited to cel­e­brate the rag­time sounds of Scott Joplin and the sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tions he made in music his­tory; the strength of Angela Davis and her writ­ings that stood up to an unfair world; the iconic pho­tog­ra­phy of Gordon Parks and his relent­less moti­va­tion to cap­ture raw social and polit­i­cal issues all over the world; and the phil­an­thropic con­tri­bu­tions of Eliza Bryant, whose human­i­tar­ian work touched thousands.
