Little Ohio

Little Ohio is a guide to the smaller towns of the Buckeye State, written for people who like to explore by car. Author and blogger Jane Simon Ammeson traveled across Ohio to find the best places to eat, stay, play, and shop in more than 90 small towns. The book is part of a series on small-town destinations.

The entries are grouped by region, so readers can plan a day trip, a weekend, or a longer journey around the area they are in. Full-color photographs show museums, old-fashioned Main Streets, historic sites, and other attractions.

The guide opens with a few questions it goes on to answer. Where can you ride the Erie Canal on a boat drawn by a horse? What is Wapakoneta, and how is it tied to Neil Armstrong? Where can you get ice cream at a stop on the Underground Railroad? Other stops include wineries, chocolate shops, old mills, Amish villages, riverboats, and covered bridges.
