CLEVELAND'S TREASURES (DHA0801) ~ Customize a package with numerous options:

PIGSKINS AND PLANES (DAT0808) ~ This tour starts at the Pro Football Hall of Fame which was built to "honor individuals for outstanding contributions", "preserve documents and artifacts" and "educate the public". The luncheon will be a unique dining experience at the area’s only authentic World War II restaurant, located right at the airport. Visit the hangars that house the MAPS Air Museum, an organization dedicated to educating people about the history of aviation and its impact upon society. To do this, they acquire, restore, preserve and exhibit these beautiful aircrafts. Come and discover some of the finest military aircraft ever flown. We also make a brief stop at a candy company for some tasting and shopping. (S-D Tour available June 21)

STEUBENVILLE TOUR (DFG0809) ~ This new "Frontier Tour" begins right where Steubenville began . . . at Historic Fort Steuben, the fort that opened the Northwest Territory to the nation. Built in 1786 by the First American Regiment, the fort was for the protection of surveyors who had been sent by the Congressional Congress to map out the area. The site was most desirable for a military defense since it was by the Ohio River and laid on a slope of land that formed a natural amphitheater around the perimeter. We’ll also be touring the first Federal Land Office, built in 1801, and a pioneer home. You should also enjoy seeing the massive 2 1/2 ton bell from the Jefferson County Courthouse. Lunch is included before a guide boards our bus for a tour of some of the twenty-five murals that are painted on the outside walls of buildings to artfully capture the city’s rich heritage, as it grew over the past two hundred years. Other stops will be made of historic sites including collections from the Civil War and Ohio Presidents. (S-D Tour available August 9)

CAST IRON CHEF HEARTH DINNER . . . PREPARED BY YOUR GROUP (DCT0812) ~ Would you like to try some old fashioned recipes such as Bubbles & Squeak or Joe Froggers and wash them all down with a swig of switchel? Immerse yourself in the art of cooking on an open hearth as you prepare a variety of period dishes. Package includes all the supplies and utensils for your groups experience, a grand meal sharing of the dishes that your group has prepared and recipes for all dishes on the menu.

ARCHBOLD WITH DINNER "AT THE BARN" (DTT0819) ~ Sauder Village is filled with historic homes, buildings and shops that reflect life in the 1800’s.

LET’S PLAY BALL (DCT0808) ~ If your group is looking for something with a little more action, try your hand at 19th century baseball. One of the oldest vintage baseball teams in America is waiting to teach your group this gentlemen’s game.

You’ll even enjoy a picnic lunch in the hotel beer garden overlooking the field.

WHISTLE WHILE YOU WORK (DCT0802) ~ This tour is available Monday through Friday. Columbus is the home to the only factory that still makes aluminum whistles.
