Pitch takes a Road Trip

Pitch Columbus hits the road.  Great urban areas are defined by all their attractions, both within walking distance and nearby road trips.  Columbus, which is centrally located in Ohio enables you to experience all of Ohio -with a simple turn of the car key.

With a quick tap on our GPS Nav, Pitch finds itself near Toledo Ohio to an era that is Gone With The Wind.  Just outside Toledo Ohio is a Southern Georgian styled plantation mansion once home to the Stranahan's, a turn-of-the-century auto-barron family.

Built in 1938, for a mere $376,000.  Today, this home and property is the crown jewel for Ohio's Metroparks.  With miles and miles of scenic hiking trails, bird watching, deer spotting, picnics, and cross country skiing this is an outdoor adventures dream day trip.  The property in addition to the manor house also includes the original home's stables and care-taker's home which was built in 1897.

Pitch recommends this 2.5 hour road trip North, to anyone looking for an outdoor adventure or simply to take a stroll back in time for a little piece of Tara.
