Winery Weekends: Visit Four Landmark Spots

These destinations have been drawing regulars and tourists for decades and — in some cases — generations. We visited to sip, sample and learn about the range of varieties they craft.

Ohio’s Shawshank Trail

In 1993, “The Shawshank Redemption” was filmed at the Ohio State Reformatory and more than a dozen other nearby sites. We followed in the footsteps of Andy and Red. Here’s how you can, too.

The Topiary Park, Columbus

This Columbus attraction re-creates Georges Seurat’s “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” with plants.

Heritage Road Trips: Historic Bridges

These famous spans throughout the state offer insight into Ohio history, the evolution of travel and the role of waterfront industry.

The Legacy of Clearview Golf Club

William Powell’s East Canton club is the first and only golf course designed, built, owned and operated by an African American. Today, his kids oversee the operation and bring their father’s message of inclusivity to a new generation.
