4 Guys And A Roof

The Toledo Ballet has always had a good reason to dance. This entertainment group has been maintaining its impressive tradition of stunning, impressively choreographed performances for over 70 years and there is no sign of stopping. In addition to presenting works that are based on the classics, the ballet also incorporates modern touches to different presentations throughout their season. This includes elements of jazz, hip-hop, and musical theater that all work to not only challenge the dancers to new levels of performance, but also appeals to a wider audience who otherwise may not have ever thought of catching one of the ballet's mesmerizing performances.

Copper Moon Studio showcases the unique creations of area artists. This is one of the area's most endearing shops, and in addition to seeing some amazing locally produced art, there is also an equally inviting selection of mementos and gifts that are highly appealing in both their style and presentation. Among the many great finds here include jewelry, stained glass, paintings and photographs. There are even garden accents, mirrors and mosaics available, too.

History is both preserved and highlighted at the Fort Meigs State Memorial. This fort was the largest walled fortification in the country. The structure was ordered to be built by President William Henry Harrison on the south side of the Maumee River in 1812. This was the site of two important battles of the War of 1812. The historic attraction has been restored and was even the site of a massive archeological excavation that was started in the 1960s. There are self-guided tours available as well as various demonstrations that offer an even more detailed look at a fascinating piece of United States history.
