Culture
If you appreciate the arts and culture, you’ll be impressed by the scope the community offers —
from twice-yearly art walks that explore galleries and studios, to the new Marathon Performing
Arts Center — along with many unique local eateries to enjoy before or after showings and
performances.
Families enjoy the Children’s Museum of Findlay and the many attractions along the Lake Erie
coast, from the Toledo Mud Hens at Fifth Third Field to America’s preeminent roller coaster
collection at Cedar Point. And if you want to travel just a little farther, you’ll appreciate easy
access to airports in Toledo, Columbus, Dayton, and Detroit.
