Every performer in the Valentine Theatre has their heart in the right place. The entertainment venue is located in downtown Toledo and has an impressive history of being open for the past 108 years. This comfortable theater features an obviously vintage vibe but also boasts a state of the art light and sound system that ensures you won't miss any of the action onstage. The 901-seat facility presents various productions throughout the season to the delight of many Toledo theater enthusiasts.

There's fresh, and then there's farm fresh, and that is most definitely what you will find when you shop at the Toledo Farmer's Market. This group of vendors is well worth finding, as they are located within the same area as the Erie Street Market which is indoors, but there are various vendors who set up tents in and around the area. You will find an unmatched selection of homegrown produce and herbs as well as baked goods, handmade crafts, plants and fresh cut flowers.

The Toledo Botanical Garden is a benchmark against which similar gardens are measured throughout the country, and with good reason. This is considered to be one of the pioneering gardens because of its dramatically beautiful visual and natural presentation. Fragrant meadows of sunflowers and wildflowers, rose gardens, herb gardens and sharply manicured walkways make spending time here something special for the entire family. Also, the kids will especially love visiting the recreated pioneer garden which many consider to be one of the site's main attractions.

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.
