The Ohio Ghost Town That’s Perfect For An Autumn Day Trip

What was once an abandoned attraction from decades past wasting away in the woods has officially been revived into a friendly (and sometimes spooky) ghost town that makes an excellent day trip destination. Ghost Town in Findlay, Ohio is a one-of-a-kind festival venue, haunted attraction and seasonal day trip destination.
