The place
Joined 1803 · 17th state · Eastern time
Ohio is the country in miniature, which is why it spent a century as the state that picked presidents. It has Appalachian hills in the southeast, industrial cities on the lake, farmland in the middle, and eight presidents born inside its borders. Cleveland invented rock and roll radio and keeps the hall of fame. Go for Cuyahoga Valley, a national park between two cities on a river that once caught fire and is now clean enough to fish, which is the whole story of the place.
Eight presidents were born here, which is why it is called the Mother of Presidents too.
