| Ohio, the Buckeye State, is rich in tradition and historical landmarks. It is a Midwestern state in the Great Lakes region and is home to the largest Amish/Mennonite settlement.
From the dunes on Lake Erie to the gorge-cut plateau along the Ohio River, from which Ohio takes its name, its land is fairly flat, with some rolling country. Columbus is the state’s largest city and Cleveland is the center of Ohio’s largest metropolitan area. Other major cities include Cincinnati, Toledo and Akron.
Attractions for visitors and residents include the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Indian burial grounds at Mound City Group National Monument, Perry’s Victory International Peace Memorial, the Pro Football Hall of Fame at Canton, and the homes of presidents Grant, Taft, Hayes, Harding, and Garfield.
