The Cleveland Museum of Art
2024 Jan 21
The Cleveland Museum of Art consistently ranks as one of the best comprehensive art museums in the United States and one of the most-visited in the world.
But what does that actually mean?
This isn’t the kind of museum where you show up, look at a couple of Picassos, then find the nearest bar. It's home to more than 61,000 works of art spanning 6,000 years — including soothing lily pad oils by Monet, ancient hot bod Grecian statues and 100 very vivid images of Marilyn Monroe courtesy of Andy Warhol.
Oh, and after more than 100 years, the museum’s founders would be pleased to know that their bedrock belief that admission should be free to the general public is still adhered to today. You might also be pleased to know that, because, you know…free.

William Howard Taft National Historic Site
2024 Jan 21
Located in the beautiful Cincinnati City, Ohio. This historic place offers so much. Ranger helped us so much and told about so many things about, William H Taft. This is the property where William Howard Taft was born and grew up. The site focuses not only on the former president but on his parents, siblings and other family members. The first floor is furnished as the home was and the second floor is more like a traditional museum. There is a visitor center with restrooms, gift shop, and a film. Tours are available. The day we were there, they were short staffed, but a docent was available on each floor of the house to answer questions. There is parking on the street and in a nearby lot. The site is entirely handicap accessible. There is an elevator in the house where there are also restrooms. It is completely free including tours. I would suggest 1 1/2 hours to see and read. You will need to read to absorb everything.
