From quilt barns to bicentennial barns, Ohio has them in abundance, but they’re slowly (and sadly) disappearing. Over the years Ohio has steadily developed a collection of beautiful, historic barns. You can find most of them by exploring the countryside and driving back roads — and you should do so while these beguiling Ohio barns are still here.

Featuring a refurbished rustic barn, board games, and a scenic lake you can explore outside, this unique eatery has an unbelievably charming atmosphere.

Grandpa’s Cheesebarn in Ashland is another barn charmer; what was once a working dairy farm is now a truly epic cheese barn right off of Interstate 71 . It’s a family-owned, charming store, gift shop and eatery the whole family will love. For a rustic-yet-elevated barn dining experience, The Barn at Rocky Fork Creek is nothing short of magical.
