THE WILDS

Cumberland, OH 43732
Tel: (740) 638-5030
www.thewilds.columbuszoo.org/home
Gain a new perspective on
endangered species. And physics. Today, it's difficult to
imagine The Wilds and its 9,000 plus acres as anything but a
home to rare and endangered species from around the globe living
in open range habitats. However, the park that has transformed
wild life conservation practices was once devoted to strip
mining. The Wilds has evolved into a completely immersive
experience with zip line tours, horseback riding, fishing, and
more, including one-of-kind, hands-on educational opportunities.
And all the resources you need to enjoy it are right here. |

GERMAN VILLAGE
German Village Society
588 S 3rd St,
Columbus, OH 43215
Tel:
(614) 221-8888
www.germanvillage.com
Structures and sidewalks are
orange masonry, and many streets (about half) are still brick
pavers. German Village does not have a recreated sense of
history or kitschy Bavarian feel ~ rather, it is a neighborhood
with architecture dating from the 1840s-1890s that has been
preserved, and its use as a shared residential and commercial
neighborhood has been maintained. People walk to their
destinations, park on the street due to the overwhelming absence
of driveways, and live life at a very pedestrian level. The
neighborhood is extremely dense ~ very often only inches
separate neighboring structures, and many structures were built
for multi-family use. German Village is notably different
because its appearance has changed so little. |

www.eastontowncenter.com
Easton was built to be a
Town Center sixteen years ago. But because of the shared spirit
of the people and patrons, Easton has evolved to become a strong
local community and inspiring success story. What makes Easton
special is not just the great shopping, dining and
entertainment. In many ways, that is just the setting. The magic
comes from the Easton community. It’s about the people, the
experiences they share on-site, and the stories they share
onwards with others. |
