Ohio

Today we wondered through north central Ohio. From Toledo, we dropped on to secondary roads driving southeast. We went through such communities as Bellevue, Clyde, and Wooster. There are more cornfields, but there are more trees and rolling hills. We had lunch in Millersburg in an old restored building. It began in the 1800's as a stage stop. What is now the tavern used to be the livery stable. In the town square is a big monument to honor those that fought in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Mexican War, and the War of Patriot Rebellion that later became citizens of the county. Now that is a term I have not heard for the Civil War.
After lunch we stopped at an Amish cheese factory getting cheese to go with our wine for a picnic tomorrow. Next up was the Warther Museum. Mr Warther is a well known wood carver--not known to us. He could carve things out of wood that were made of a single piece. He earned fame by carving model working trains, many of which are in the museum. When he wasn't carving, he was making knives which is how he earned his money and his family continues today. His wife collected buttons and then mounted them on white ceiling tiles in different patterns. They cover the walls and ceiling of his old studio.
Tonight we are in Boliver and tomorrow will go to Canton.
