Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Ohio

While in Ohio, you might enjoy a visit to:

Kenton, Ohio: Gene Autry Mural

Kenton Hardware Company manufactured wildly popular Gene Autry repeating cap guns in the 1930s. The mural depicts the singing cowboy actor waving his hat as his horse rears up in front of the factory.
~28 miles from Marion.

Hillard, Ohio: Early Television Museum

The decor is sparse, but there's nowhere else on earth with so many ancient working TVs. "Visitors can see their friends as they would have appeared on mechanical television in 1930."
~38 miles from Marion.

Bellefontaine, Ohio: Oldest Concrete Street in America

Newfangled paving material was guaranteed for five years when it was poured in 1891. Only foot traffic is allowed now, so it should last for several more centuries.
~39 miles from Marion.

Ashville, Ohio: World's Oldest Traffic Light

The world's oldest traffic light -- which still works, and which looks like a streamlined silver football -- is on display in the town museum.
~60 miles from Marion.
