Ohio State Reformatory

A Glimpse at the Creepy Interior of the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio

The imposing façade of the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield does nothing to deter visitors from flocking to the site today which, other than Mid-Ohio Raceway, is possibly the most visited attraction in Richland County drawing record crowds in October for their Escape from Blood Prison event. During the rest of the year, tours are offered…

The Historic Ohio State Reformatory- a Hometown Treasure

My family recently visited the Historic Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio. Our tour was excellent and we left wondering why on earth it had taken us so long to visit! Operated by the Mansfield Reformatory Prison Society, the Ohio State Reformatory is the largest castle-like structure in Ohio and is listed on the National…

  • Had a fun girl's night last night with @chelseaviolet_ and @livschnees to thank @bshannon1808 for being my cat sitter while we were on vacation. We enjoyed a sweet Tropical Mango Moscato that I picked up in @theouterbanksnc along with a couple other food items I couldn't resist. Do you purchase wine and other edibles to enjoy at home after your trips? . . . . #nomnom #foodie #eats #gno #girlsnight #celebrate #friends #tasty #cheeseplate #cheeseboard #entertaining #entertain #winenight #wine #moscatowine #snacks #travelinspiredliving #edibles #foodlover #milkglass
  • What's a road trip without a great roadside attraction? I spotted this UFO near Pittsburgh in a charming little town called Mars. 🛸 In the early 1990's this flying saucer appeared amid rumors of nearby UFO sightings and crop circles. The piece is moved to a different location each year but for now you'll find it resting downtown. 👽 Have you ever spotted a UFO? . . . . .

  • Did you know Ohio has the largest population of Amish in the US? Ohio's Amish Country is about an hour's drive from my home but growing up outside of Ashland it was common to see Amish and Mennonite men, women, and children riding along on their buggies or bicycles. . . . . . #ohiofindithere #travelusa #travelinspiredliving #discoverohio #mwtravel #midwestmoment #midwestisbest #amish #amishcountryohio #exploremore #explore #roadtrip #ohio #asseeninohio #travel #midwest #midwestlife #midwestliving #ohiogram #igtravel #ohiogram
  • I've passed by this towering globe many times as I've traveled along the Pennsylvania turnpike. I've always wanted to stop but never did until I was returning home from a recent trip to the Outer Banks. Constructed in the 1960's, this spinning world serves as an advertisement for Jenny who revolutionized the world of cleaning with the invention of steam cleaning. Visible from the road but for those who want a closer look, hop off the PA Interstate at exit 110. Do you stop for roadside attractions? . . . . . #roadtrip #roadtrippers #TBIN #atlasobscura #visitPA #roadsideamerica #roadsideattraction #retro #visitpennsylvania #pennsylvania #pahappy #travel #travelusa #americana #exploremore #ipulledoverforthis #roadsideoddities #insearchofquirk #travelinspiredliving #travelblogger
  • It's hard to believe this is our last night in Corolla. We couldn't have asked for a better week. Everything has been amazing but if there is one thing I'll miss more than anything else, it would be our evening strolls along the beach watching the sun begin to set. #OBXNow . . . . . #IloveOBX #currituckobx #corollanc #corollabeach #atlanticocean #sunset #beach #sunset_hunter #travelblogger #outerbanks #lighthouse #paintedsky #skyporn #travelinspiredliving #travelusa #TBIN #roadtrip #roadtrippers #travel #travelgram
  • Whalehead is an historic mansion that overlooks the Currituck Sound in Corolla, North Carolina. This gorgeous property was built as a lavish hunting retreat by Edward Collings Knight Jr. for his wife, Marie Louise, who was not allowed in the all-male hunt clubs of that time. The 1920s-era Art Nouveau-style mansion was restored in 2992 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. . . . . . #curritucksound #currituckobx #corollanc #corolla #visitnc #obxnow #IloveOBX #whalehead #historicplaces #nationalregisterofhistoricplaces #outerbanks #obx #history #roadtrip #travelusa #travelgram #travelinspiredliving #TBIN #architecture #travelblogger
  • Vacation is all about creating memories with family and friends and my family did just that yesterday with the help of @kittyhawkkites at their Hang Gliding School. Located at Jockey's Ridge State Park in @theouterbanksnc, this is the largest school of its kind in the world. #OBXNow . . . . . #outerbanksnc #IloveOBX #hanggliding #jockeysridge #makingmemoriestogether #familylife #travel #travelinspiredliving #tbin #getoutdoors #optoutside #exploremore #visitnc
  • Yesterday, my husband and I took a stroll through the maritime forest at the N.C. Coastal Reserve & National Estuarine Research Reserve which leads along a boardwalk to the Currituck Sound. This quiet, peaceful walk is a great way to start the day. . . . . . #IloveOBX #OBXNow #visitnc #corollanc #maritimeforest #takeawalk #getoutdoors #optoutside #northcarolina #outdoors #travelgram #naturetherapy #naturephotography #nature #travelblogger #travel
