Hello, Monday! Chelsea here.

Throughout Ohio, we’ve lost too many incredible old homes and manors. I love it when these incredible old homes manage to stick around, and the Reese-Peters home is no exception. This incredible home was built in the 1830s and it’s beautiful. You can enjoy quite a tour of the beautiful old property because it’s actually a free museum. They’ve got some incredible pieces of art on display, including their latest exhibition, which features the work of iconic cartoonist Barbara Shermund. And if you’re one of those people saying, “How can she be iconic? I’ve never heard of her” then I promise, at some point shortly, you’ve got to change that. Her art is well worth the drip down to the gorgeous house.
