The 5 Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Kelleys Island, Ohio (OH)
Kelleys Island is both a village in Erie County, Ohio, United States, and the island which it fully occupies in Lake Erie. The area was originally known by the British as Sandusky Island, and later officially designated by the U.S. as Island Number 6 and Cunningham Island. It was renamed Kelleys Island in 1840 by brothers Datus and Irad Kelley, who had purchased nearly the entire island.

Interesting and unique place to Visit. We got there too late to see the inside of the museum but wandered about outside to find some very unique and interesting statues made of marble, cement, limestone, and lot of boob statues, etc. we really enjoyed this place so if you have time do it. Could have spent more time here but it was starting to get dark.

I have been going to the island for over 20 years but this is the first time I visited the historical society and gift shop, German Reformatory church and the personage resale shop. I have been here for 4 days and have been to all 3 each day. The volunteers are so friendly and I have found treasures to take home!
