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

Few people know that Ohio is home to an official Ghost Town. 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.

While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!
