Ohio State Tourism
Ohio, named after the Iroquois word for "Great River" is one of the most beautiful states in America, and one of the most visited because of its reputation for hospitality and its wealth of great things to do and see. When it comes to Ohio state tourism, the Ohio Division of Travel and Tourism knows how to promote its attractions. In 1984, they came up with the slogan - Ohio, The Heart of it All. However, in 2000, the board decided that they needed to 'kick it up a notch'. Today, the state's very apt slogan is "Ohio, So Much to Discover".
How apt is this slogan, for Ohio is literally one of the few places in the U.S. where visitors and residents alike can find something different to do or see with every changing season. Ohio offers a plethora of attractions - art and historical museums to the Pro Football and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame. Forts, tombs, and cabins and homes of famous Ohio natives can be found throughout the state, including the McKinley National Memorial and the Harding and Harrison tombs, as well as President Grant's birthplace, home and school. The state offers a wealth of national treasures, including the Zane Grey Museum, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and Serpent Mound.
Ohio state tourism attracts travelers and visitors from around the country hoping to enjoy some of her best entertainments, from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium to one of the oldest functioning amusement parks in the country at Cedar Point.
Ohio's got a great sense of humor as well, and residents voted for 'Hang On Sloopy' as their very own State Rock song, though yes, their 'traditional' state song is 'Beautiful Ohio'. Known as the Buckeye state, residents also have their very own groundhog aptly named 'Buckeye Chuck', and a favorite drink (tomato juice).
Ohio also boasts over nine thousand square miles of forested land and over 44,000 miles of rivers and streams, offering outdoor adventurers plenty of hunting, fishing, skiing, hiking and backpacking excursions year round. The Ohio state tourism board invites you to come visit and see for yourself the wonderful opportunities that Ohio has to offer, whether you're traveling alone, as a couple or with a family (and your dog).
Visitors to Ohio can stay in one of her more populated cities, like Cincinnati, Columbus or Cleveland, or find some elbow room in thousands of smaller cities and towns that offer down-home charm, lodging, and cooking. Whether visitors are in the mood for gourmet dining or Hungarian hot dogs, Ohio's got it. From the Contemporary Art Center in Cincinnati to the rustic campgrounds in the Wayne National Forest, natives and visitors can expect, and receive, only the best from the great state of Ohio.
