[Fot] tourist stuff around mid-ohio kastner cup

 Hi,
I would add that Ohio east of the Mid Ohio race course is quite fun for off the beaten track stuff like Amish farms and covered bridges and stuff like that. Ashtabula county has around 19 of them. It's quite fun finding them - you get to see some real countryside! For history buffs, there's also parts of the old canals that once connected the great lakes to the Ohio river. If you're into zoos, the Columbus Zoo is fairly impressive and there's also a park to the east of Columbus that is affiliated with the Columbus Zoo and it is called "The Wilds". The are is a reclaimed surface mine and a lot of roaming large animals. Worth the trip, if you like that sort of thing. There's also a US National Park up near Cleveland - Cuyahoga Valley National Park. A fun place to visit, there are some remnants of the previously mention canals in the park.
I agree that Wright Patterson is a must see for aviation buffs...
There's lots of kool stuff in the general area!!
I am also looking forward to the trip next June.
Regards,Bob Lang

Terry;

You might want to take a look at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: 1100 Rock and Roll Blvd., Cleveland Ohio 44114.

While in Cleveland, see if you can catch the once a month tour of NASA's Glenn Research Center. Advanced planning is needed.  see https://www.nasa.gov/centers/glenn/events/tours.html.   The NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio designs and develops innovative technology to advance NASA’s missions in aeronautics and space exploration.

Your choice of the Dayton Air Force Museum is too notch,  Been there twice and would go again!

Mid Ohio is about 4 hours drive from Detroit.  If you are "up" for a further ride, the Henry Ford museum is a great place for a mechanically-oriented person. Lots of America history and lifestyle info there as well.  While there also consider the Motown museum if the music rocks you.

There are several other museums in Detroit worth seeing while you are there.  Detroit Institute of Art and also the Detroit Historical Museum.

If you know someone at GM, their Historical collection is worth seeing.  Alas the Chrysler museum is closed.

Hope you enjoy the trip!

Folks, wife cindy and myself are planning to come over from Australia for the 2020 Kastner Cup. At this early stage, we will be driving  down from Niagra Falls to mid-ohio area. We will possibly go the “long way” via Watkins Glenn just for a look. We might have a day or so either side of the racing weekend to look around. The Dayton Airforce museum is already on the list.

Can anyone really familiar with this region offer any comments on “must see” places.
