Toledo's Wolcott House Museum affords you the opportunity to step back into the 1800s to get a taste of what life was like back then. This home that has been carefully restored into the museum it is today illustrates what its original inhabitants, John and Mary Wolcott, experienced on a daily basis. This is a stunning Federal-style structure that dates back to the 1830s and features art, furniture and other items that give an even more detailed picture of a domestic setting. This museum also features several adjacent structures that include a log home that once stood on the banks of the Miami and Erie Canals, an 1840s-style farmhouse, a railroad depot, a church and an 1840s Greek-style home.

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.

Maumee State Park offers plenty of enticing natural amenities. One of the most popular is the availability of two sand beaches.
