Things to Do in Ohio

Cindy — Fri, 09 Feb 2024 11:34:28 +0000

Ohio is a wonderful state to visit, whether you are from out of state, or you want to discover your home state, this article focuses on some of the best things to do in Ohio.

About Ohio

Ohio has a population of nearly 11.8 million. Its capital and largest city is Columbus, with other large cities Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Akron, and Toledo.

The nickname of Ohio ‘The Buckeye State’ derives from the buckeye trees that grow along the Ohio River Valley. The small nuts the trees produce resemble the eye of a deer. It is considered that carrying a buckeye nut in your pocket is good luck.

The flag of Ohio was officially adopted in 1902 and is the only state flag that is not rectangular.

The 17th state of America, Ohio was founded in 1803 when the boundaries and the constitution were approved by Thomas Jefferson. However, it was not until 1953 that Ohio was granted statehood and admittance to the union by Dwight D. Eisenhower, although it was backdated.

Ohio was the birthplace of seven US presidents: Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, William H. Taft, and Warren G. Harding. This fact has given the state the title of ‘Mother of Presidents’.

Facts About Ohio

Home to several indigenous civilizations, humans have been present in Ohio since as early as 10,000 BCE.
The first Ohio settlement was Marietta in the northwest. It was named after Marie Antoinette of France.
Chillicothe and Zanesville were joint capital cities of Ohio until 1816 when Columbus became the capital.
Orville and Wilbur Wright from Dayton made the first short flights in 1903.
The only state to have an official rock song, ‘Hang on Sloopy’ was designated Ohio’s official song in 1985.
Cedar Point was founded in 1870 and is the second oldest amusement park in the US. Lake Compounce in Connecticut is the oldest.
Ohio has the second largest Amish community in the US, second only to Pennsylvania. There are approximately 40,000 Amish citizens in Ohio.
Ohio gets its name from the Iroquois word Ohi-yo, meaning ‘great river’, ‘good river’, or ‘large creek’.

Famous People from Ohio

Bob Hope, actor and comedian, was born in England but moved to the US when he was four and grew up in Cleveland.
Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, was from Wapakoneta.
Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio in 1847.
Some more famous people from Ohio are Doris Day (Cincinnati), Clark Gable (Cadiz), Dean Martin (Steubenville), Paul Newman (Cleveland), Jack Nicklaus (Columbus), Annie Oakley (Darke County), and Steven Spielberg (Cincinnati).

Ohio State Symbols, etc

The state bird is the Cardinal, which can be found in all 88 counties.
The state tree is the Ohio Buckeye.
The state flower is the Carnation.
The official song of Ohio is called ‘Beautiful Ohio’.
The official state motto of Ohio is ‘With God, all things are possible’.

Eye Protection for the Solar Eclipse

This is a quote from the NASA website about watching a solar eclipse:

When watching a partial or annular solar eclipse directly with your eyes, you must look through safe solar viewing glasses (“eclipse glasses”) or a safe handheld solar viewer at all times. Eclipse glasses are NOT regular sunglasses; regular sunglasses, no matter how dark, are not safe for viewing the Sun.

Do NOT look at the Sun through a camera lens, telescope, binoculars, or any other optical device while wearing eclipse glasses or using a handheld solar viewer — the concentrated solar rays will burn through the filter and cause serious eye injury.

For more detailed information about safe viewing, visit the NASA website.

Fun Facts About the 2024 Solar Eclipse

This will be the first total solar eclipse in the continental U.S. in 7 years.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Sun, the Moon, and Earth are aligned, or in syzygy.
A solar eclipse only happens at New Moon, but not at every New Moon.
Everyone in the continental U.S. will be able to see at least a partial eclipse.
This eclipse will be the most-viewed ever.
Totality is safe to look at.

The Next Total Eclipses Worldwide

If you want to chase total eclipses, the next ones that are due in the 2020s are:

August 12, 2026 – Greenland, Iceland, and Spain
August 2, 2027 – Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Somalia.
July 22, 2028 – Australia and New Zealand.

Spain has the extremely rare bonus of having a total eclipse two years running!

A total solar eclipse will not happen again in Ohio until 2099!
