Answer 3

I don't think I can top Michael N's answer and I live in Ohio. We do have a huge population of Amish. I live in Hardin County and we have many Amish farms here. It is nothing to drive down the road and see a horse drawn buggy. I drive a truck locally, and I can tell you that for me to see five to seven buggies a day, isn't uncommon. I hope you get what you are looking for. The mighty Buckeye State is great place to call home. Also, the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong, hails from Wapakoneta, Ohio.

Answer 5

Here is a book you could read:
Strange Tales From Ohio: True Stories Of Remarkable People, Places, And Events In Ohio History (Paperback)
by Neil Zurcher (Author)
http://www.amazon.com/Strange-Tales-Ohio-Stories-Remarkable/dp/1886228949/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_b/104-8245730-4860745

Here is a website you can visit:
For a monthly dose of bizarre Ohio videos, wacky Ohio attractions, strange Ohio legends and folklore, weird Ohio tales, best Ohio events, most unique Ohio festivals, and overall bizarro Ohio oddities, daytrip, travel and tourism and vacation ideas, and other oddball Ohio sights, such as:

House of Trash: You may disagree, but there is one house in Ohio that was made out of trash. Located in Philo, Ohio, at Blue Rock Station, there’s a cozy home made of tires, cans, bottles and loads of other recycled materials. There’s even a tour.

Chamber Pot Gallery: A loo with a view is what many are calling a public restroom in Yellow Springs (no pun intended). Officially known as the Chamber Pot Gallery, one can meet nature’s call and visit an art museum simultaneously as framed artwork has been hung all around. The gallery/restroom is located inside the replica 1880 train station that is also home to the chamber of commerce.

Halls of Fame: Ohio is home to more Halls of Fame than any other state. The list includes the well known Rock-N-Roll, Pro Football, and Inventors Halls of Fame. But Ohio is also home to the Barbers’, Classical Music, Ohio Women’s, and Harness Racing Halls of Fame. Unfortunately, the Trap-Shooting Hall of Fame moved out of state last year.

Shortest Street: Bellefontaine, Ohio is home to the World's Shortest Street and the World's Oldest Concrete Street.

Contraception Museum: Only in Ohio will you find an exhibit turned museum that depicts the history of contraception. It is located at The Dittrick Medical History Center in Cleveland.

Piqua, Ohio was once known as the Underwear Capitol of America. It had 16 underwear-manufacturing companies and a peculiar heritage celebration known as the Great Outdoor Underwear Festival. The strange event featured bizarre activities like the Undy 500 or Drop Seat Trot. Unfortunately, these times have past. Piqua isn’t bashful when sharing its heritage to visitors.

An exhibit at the Allen County Museum in Lima, Ohio displays objects removed from local person's lungs, larynx and esophagus over the years by a father and son team of ear, nose, and throat specialists. This bizarre collection was two generations in the making. For visitors to the museum, it may be a bit hard to swallow.

Bucyrus, Ohio is home to more than bratwurst! It has the last copper shop in America that still makes its original products by hand - The D. Picking & Company. Tours can be arranged to see the craftsmen at work creating kettles, ladles, skillets and more throughout five staging rooms in the 130+-year-old building dripping with character.

A life-size sculpture of train tracks plunging into the ground in Oberlin, Ohio may give visitors a new sense of Underground Railroad. But even more bizarre is that the sculptor had a different representation in mind before this work of art became the Underground Railroad Monument gracing the lawn of Talcott Hall at Oberlin College.

When you think of covered bridges you may think of old constructions, not new. But Bluebird Farm Restaurant, Gift Shop & Toy Museum in Carrollton, Ohio, boasts Ohio’s newest covered bridge.

Goodbye ‘Mail Pouch’ and hello ‘Quilt Barns.’ A phenomenon sweeping the Midwest, let alone Ohio, started in Adams county, Ohio. There, quilt patterns were painted on dozens of barns and is now know as the “Clothesline of Quilts.”
