Toledo's Libbey Glass Factory Outlet Store is known by many as "The Glass Capital of the World." When you walk into this stunning compendium of glass, you will be able to get a brief history of the company that was founded in 1870 by William L. Libbey who developed the first glass-making machine. Today, this company is the leading producer of glass tableware and ceramic dinnerware for the North American food service industry, as well as exporting glass to over 100 countries. In addition to offering an incredible number of items for sale, there are historically significant displays and even tours available upon request.

While it may be true that history is all around us, sometimes you have to travel a bit to get to it. That is the case with Sauder Farm and Craft Village. Located about an hour's drive outside of Toledo, this historical attraction vividly demonstrates what rural life was like in Ohio back in the 1800s. Visit a blacksmith, a potter, and a general store as well as a popular quilt shop. There are also many historic homes and picturesque gardens that you can stroll through. And, if you get hungry, enjoy a delicious meal at the nearby Barn Restaurant.

The Portage River in nearby Sandusky is a short 11-mile drive away from Toledo, but the extra effort to get there is worth it. Enjoy the best whitewater rafting adventure as well as kayaking and other water recreation at this popular destination.
