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.
~26 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.

Mansfield, Ohio: Mansfield Reformatory

Opened in 1896, closed as a prison in 1990. Mansfield Reformatory has become a prime location for prison movies and music videos, and a go-to destination for cable TV ghost hunters.
~35 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.
~61 miles from Marion.
