🌳 This Underrated State Park Is Home To A 100-Foot Fire Tower With Epic Views

Sponsored by Decorative Arts Center of OhioA new exhibit from the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio will highlight photography from Depression-era photographers as well as contemporary photographers documenting the COVID-19 pandemic. Chronicles: The Great Depression and the Pandemic features photography from two times of national tragedy, comparing them while also engaging patrons with photography from regional sites including Lancaster, Fairfield County, and throughout Ohio. A theme throughout is the resilience of the American people as they tackle the trials and tribulations placed before them. For more info about the Decorative Arts Center, visit decartsohio.org.

Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

Okay, you all know that I love a hidden gem. And today, we're kicking the morning off with the perfect one. If you've never made the one-hour trip out to Blue Rock State Park, you are truly missing out. The park is beautiful, serene, off-the-beaten-path, and includes one of my favorite views in the state. Head out for a day trip or stay for a night or two at the campground. Either way, you'll have a wonderful time.
