Each year, we scour the state looking for Ohio’s most romantic spots. Out of curiosity, we wanted to see if we’ve been missing anything, so we asked Ohioans what makes the Buckeye State so romantic. Some we’ve heard of, some we’ve written about and some came as a surprise. But all seem worthy of a visit on Valentine’s Day or any day you’re with someone special.
