Lost in Ohio is a completely delightful book. The author traveled the state of Ohio and found interesting and unusual things to see and places to visit. These are not restaurants, museums, amusement parks or other typical stuff. These are the odd and out-of-way places. Cemeteries, historical markers, canal locks and other things to see.
The state is divided into quarters and sites are grouped by quarter. Good directions are given for each site. These sites might not be the best choices for outings with children, just because a lot of them have little to do that would entertain children. But for adults and retirees, these are pretty cool.
If you live in Ohio, I would highly recommend buying and keeping a copy of this book. You can plan outings by sector and just hit the road!

Ohio is my home
Great travel guide for Ohioans and tourists. I grew up in s/w Ohio and was very interested in this part of the book. There were a few places I had been but for the most part not many.
Even if you’re not much of a traveler this is a great travel log, Enjof

Some interesting historical markers mentioned in this book, but also a lot of unique stops with fabled stories and many possibly "haunted." I think in a way they are haunted with the history.
