One of the oldest taverns in Ohio (Abe Lincoln is rumored to have spoken here) is the Spread Eagle Tavern in Hanoverton. There are catacombs, Republican memorabilia plastered on every wall, and the death mask of Pretty Boy Floyd enclosed in glass in the basement. Come for the food, stay for the history; say hello to a famous outlaw while you're at it.
The mask is near the bottom of the second staircase, just before you enter the basement barroom.
