Buckeye Lake Brewery

Reviewed By andrealena - Baltimore, Ohio

My husband and I have been here twice this summer and it won't be our last trip. It's a small place - an old gas station? - with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are very friendly and make you feel at home. The music selection is great with songs from U2, Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Train, Pearl Jam, Jack Johnson, and more. The beers are pretty good - have had the Irish red, cream ale, and blonde. Not my favorite craft beers but still good. Tonight Smitty's BBQ food truck was there and it was delicious! I'd give Buckeye Lake Brewery 5 stars if the beers were a little more to my liking, and if it were right on the lake.

Great Circle Earthworks

Spanning almost a quarter of a mile, this round earthworks was an amazing construction feat 2,000 years ago.

Reviewed By Jamie C - Marlton, New Jersey

The Great Circle and the Works museum are one of the few indicators left from what historians believe are the first civilization from the US - the Missippians, Hopewells, or collectively the Mound Builders. Awe sweeps over you as you stand within the circle of these massive man made mounds away from the din of commercialism and progress that has swept through this area as you imagine life from over 2000 years ago in this very spot. Great preservation and informative museum make this a perfect destination for the concerning history buff or the fervent nature lover.

Restated Home

Reviewed By Mary D - Etna, Ohio

This is a great stop for an unique antique. Quality furniture, beautiful dishware, unique gifts for the hard to shop for person. Don't let the outside of the building fool you - step in and be amazed. These owners take special care of their special items. Check out the photos attached.

The ground are lovely as is the architecture. The whole history of Granville and the quaint downtown, burial ground, and the shady winding road to Newark are worth spending a day.

The scenery from this beach is terrific. We brought food from the Pizza Cottage that was nearby. Withe our dog our side, we (2 adults, 3 children...12,15 and 17) sat at a picnic table, enjoyed the pizza and watched the activity on the water. Very nice beach and picnic area!

Pigeon Roost Farm

Reviewed By jcin - Greensburg PA USA

Stopped here to check out the fall farm. It's a great fun time for everyone. Pumpkin patch, lots of items to buy, a kids area, cows, goats and more. Worth the trip out to get your fall items fresh from the farm. Fun decorations for the home and Halloween. Plus lots of old farm equipment to take a look at. Very nice place for a couple or family. It's a big place so set some time aside to check everything out. We were very happy to have found it.

Midland Theatre

Reviewed By Sightsee_Eat - Worthington, Ohio

I have made fun trips to Newark with husband and daughter and stayed both times at Double Tree by Hilton, which is right across from the Midland. We came in October several years ago to see Paul Reiser (had just finished binge-ing seasons of Mad About You), and enjoyed being in the richly recently renovated Midland very much, especially as we could walk a very short ways back to our hotel. We had actually seen him arrive at the theatre from our hotel window earlier in the day. It was a wonderful short getaway not far from home.
