It's true that every museum has a mission. The Toledo Firefighters Museum is not only meant to underscore the vast contributions of generations of firefighters, but to also bring much-needed attention to the issue of fire prevention and safety. This unique museum was founded in 1976 as a way of honoring the local firefighters, but its scope and significance goes beyond the city limits of Toledo. Learn about how important it is to keep your home and business safe as well as experience several multimedia and interactive exhibits.

Metroparks in Toledo is a group of parks and green, wide open spaces all linked by the same group of recreation trails. They are ideal for walking, running and cycling. The group of cycling trails is the host spot for the Metroparks Bicycle Tour that includes a choice of a 10, 31 or 100 mile loop.

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.
