All throughout the state, these beautiful barns give our state a unique stamp on America the Beautiful. (The pictured barn is located in Stark County.)
In between Ohio's cities, amusement parks and other attractions is some of the best country road scenery you'll ever take in.
Ohio is full of some of the most beautiful covered bridges. In fact, it almost has the most covered bridges in the U.S. (Pennsylvania actually has the most, followed by Ohio.) Pictured is the Bridge of Dreams, which stretches over the Mohican River along the Mohican Valley Trail in Union Township.
Our state parks, nature preserves and metro parks taught us that. (Pictured is Conkle's Hollow State Nature Preserve.)
Ohio has the largest Amish population of any state in the nation. (As of 2000, the Amish population in Ohio was 49,750. Pennsylvania comes in at number 2 with an Amish population of 40,100.)
Looking at you, Yellow Springs.
(Pictured is the Cincinnati skyline and the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge.)
No other state has a candy this delicious. Period.
Ohioans are some of the most innovative, laid-back and heartfelt individuals who thoroughly appreciate the good things in life.
