Though there is so much to do right here in The Land, one of the city’s best features is its proximity to other cool things. Lake Erie’s islands, Amish Country, and both state and national parks are only a short drive away. There is so much to do, in fact, that it is easy to vacation without driving more than an hour away. If you ever find yourself 45 minutes east of Cleveland, there is one thing, in particular, you have to add to your bucket list: Ohio’s oldest general store.
