On the banks of Lake Erie is the Corn Belt and Rust Belt state of Ohio; home to a substantial manufacturing industry and with its ideal climate it makes perfect corn country. The state is home to one of America’s most unique communities, the Amish, who strive to avoid the sins of our age by staying in the 19th Century. The town of Dayton which gave birth to the Wright Brothers, whose legacy we are still indebted to, houses the mighty National Museum of the Air Force in their honour. Ohio is popular with visitors who come to enjoy the many cultural and historical attractions the state has to offer and to witness for themselves the living legacy of the Amish. The state enjoys a pleasantly mild climate with winter snows and the cities of Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus have plenty of night life and sports fun for city slickers.
