Ashtabula ohio

Ashtabula County has become one of my favorite weekend getaways in Ohio. This travel itinerary will show you the best things to do in Ohio Wine Country.

Stay local for a change.

This northeastern county close to Cleveland is home to a varied collection of covered bridges. Some date back 2 centuries, others are barely a decade old.

A faulty bridge design resulted in death, injury and great loss during the Ashtabula Train Disaster of 1876. Today, the town still remembers.

Fat Sally's Warehouse in Ashtabula, Ohio is a two-story old fashioned antique store that's filled with unexpected treasures.

Walnut Beach in Ashtabula might just be the most underrated beach in all of Ohio. It's quiet, little-known and picturesque.
