Ohio History Center Shut Through 2030 After Fire-Safety Scare in Columbus

The Ohio History Center in Columbus, the state's flagship history museum and research center near the Ohio Expo Center, will stay closed through 2030 while crews rehabilitate the 56-year-old building. The closure began abruptly in September after officials found a potential problem with the building's fire-safety system, and what was first expected to be a short-term shutdown has now stretched into a years-long rebuild.

Ohioans are rightly outraged. I'm running to bring change | Opinion

Reynoldsburg councilman Stacie A. Baker is running for the Ohio Senate 3rd District . What do rural, urban and suburban Ohio have in common? Well, in the past year, I’ve met lots of people from each, as I’ve campaigned for state senate across Franklin, Pickaway and Madison counties. And I can tell you that people in different parts of Ohio are not as different as certain cynical politicians want us to believe. We have a lot in common. All of us want good schools, and all of us should be upset that, every year, the state legislature wastes over $1 billion in education funding on vouchers for private schools most of us can’t afford. Those are our tax dollars: public money I want put back into our public schools. All of us want safe neighborhoods. You want your child to be able to walk home safely, whether your house sits on a county road, a cul-de-sac, or a busy street. I want that for my own kids. My endorsement by the Fraternal Order of Police was not just an honor, but a responsibility: if elected, I will protect our families and keep our communities safe from violent offenders. More: Meet

Between Columbus And Athens Is A Scenic Stop With Ohio's Largest Natural Rock Bridge, Camping, And Trails

Halfway between Columbus and Athens is Rockbridge, an outdoor enthusiast's paradise surrounded by state parks and nature preserves. The Ohio town takes its name from a large natural arch a few miles away. At a length of 100 feet, it's Ohio's largest natural rock bridge (and the only one about the same size as a blue whale). Besides this rock bridge, the town is also a gateway to places like the Rhododendron Cove State Nature Preserve, Clear Creek Metro Park, and Hocking Hills State Park, all within a 20-minute drive.
