While visiting friends in Ohio we discovered Lanterman's Mill, first built in 1845 and later…read morerestored in 1985. I am a lover of hiking, waterfalls, mills, bridges, gardens, historic places and tranquil spaces. Lanterman's Mill has all of this which makes a visit here nearly perfect. --- If you follow my reviews then you know I have a particular affinity for COVERED BRIDGES. When I discovered this place while doing a Google search of things to see in the area, I did not notice any pictures of a covered bridge. So it was beyond thrilling to walk behind the mill (where it is hidden from street view) and stumble upon it. For me, this was like finding a briefcase of money as I stood in total disbelief for several minutes. Not only was it a delightful surprise, it was beautiful and well maintained to boot, which is not always the case with covered bridges. Built in 1989, the covered bridge is not historic, but was designed in the likeness of other local bridges from the 1800's that farmers used to bring their grain to the mill. There is also a gorgeous arched street bridge that provides an excellent vantage point for photos of the mill & waterfall as well as another decorative suspension bridge just a half mile away. A 2-mile loop hiking trail known as East Gorge Walk and West Gorge Trail allows for wonderful views of the river gorge and leads you to the suspension bridge from the mill. These trails connect with the West Cohasset, East Cohasset, Axtmann and Old Tree Walking Trails and can more that triple your mileage as you explore the northern end of the park. --- OTHER AREAS OF INTEREST along the connecting walking trail are several ponds, small lakes, picnic pavilions, playgrounds and even a public golf course @ Mill Creek Metro Park. There is a Riverside Garden, Quarry Garden, Nature Center, and the ruins of a historic furnace built in the 1820's which produced approximately three to four tons of iron daily. Pioneer Pavilion, built in 1821 as a mill for carding and fulling wool is a rare surviving example of early 19th Century industry. It sits within view of the furnace. Cascade Gorge Natural Pool and an area known as THE FLATS round out some of the beautiful areas of interest near Lanterman's Mill. NOTE: The Flats are a lush grassy area surrounded by a horse fence. If you follow the fence you will notice an enormous tree in its path, which causes the fence to terminate and continue on the other side of the tree. Not sure what kind of tree it is, but it certainly seems to be very, very old based on the thickness of its trunk. It is easily more than 100 years older than any tree in its vicinity. FINAL THOUGHTS The Mill is a testimony to human determination. The current mill is the third incarnation. The first mill was built of logs and operated from 1799 to 1822. In 1823 the original mill was replaced by a second mill which operated until 1843 when a flood washed it away. A grinding stone from this mill can still be seen resting in the creek bed 500 feet downstream of the Falls. Lanterman's Mill ceased operations in 1888. [source: millcreekmetroparks.org] Lanterman's Mill itself is over 5-stories tall and has a very unique feature of having the waterwheel inside the basement of the mill. All the walking trails are free, but entrance inside the working areas of the mill are currently $3 for non-resident adults and $1 for students and seniors (July 2023). A butterfly garden is on site and during our visit we were graced with many birds, a groundhog, chipmunk and the largest most unusual forest mushroom we've ever seen. It is absolutely a stunning place in the summer. I can't even begin to imagine how magical it is in the Fall season as the trees change into their best outfits. Enjoy! BTW I've been trying my hand at TikTok & made a few videos of our visit to this mill if you care to see them: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8dqN8JM/ - https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8dVsHeW/ 2023 / 10

This library's book selection was amazing and the people there were very kind. Though, they were a bit ghetto.

Direct quote. There were crumbs on the ground and table. ***Clutching my pearls*** Mind you, we cleaned up everything we brought with us, we put every table and chair exactly where it was when we first entered the space. We wiped down the tables with what little cleaning supplies we had. We were not provided with a vacuum or even wipes, so I'm not sure how we could have cleaned crumbs from the floor. Rob then proceeded to say that he was charging a $25 cleaning fee that would need to be paid prior our next training. I used to use this library all the time, and I will never step foot into this shithole ever again due to the way that myself and my organization were treated by Rob Liste. Fuck this library.

One of the docents told me that it is so packed that people can barely move through sometimes on the weekends. That said, I might suggest offering a slight discount rate for coming on a weekday. Even a couple bucks cheaper as an incentive to get people to come when it's less busy. I love the history and I love the thought and time that was put into each of the displays. Very interesting history and I know that I barely scratched the surface learning about this prominent Youngstown family. Loved the mid-century modern displays too. I'm sure it's appealing to my generation and older, because all of it is very familiar. Everyone who works here is very friendly. The gift shop sells some really cool vintage things and it is worth a look. I was excited to see that it was next to the Wick House, which is (or at least it was 30 years ago) a women's dorm where my friend once lived, so it was nostalgic to see that building. I hadn't realized it would be right next door. I believe that family was on the Titanic if my memory serves me correctly. Anyhow- do try to come during Christmastime to visit the Arns Museum. It's a great piece of local history.

Sturdy and strong!…read more Built in 1889 using the Burr Arch truss system, the length is 121 feet and it is still open to vehicular traffic thanks to a reinforced steel undergirding. Most covered bridges I've had the privilege to visit go unpainted or have some variation of barnyard red. Although white is less common, it is also stunning in the right setting. So many covered bridges are riddled with graffiti or have deep carvings in their wood. I was surprised to see very few carvings, but it was still loaded with graffiti of a different sort. Because of its white canvas, it is very easy to see the thick layer of dust that has settled on the wood. Passers-by have taken advantage of this dust to write their names much like you would write "wash me" in the caked on dirt of a dirty car. This may be the first acceptable form of graffiti I've ever seen on a bridge! The bridge sits on stone abutments adding to its attractiveness. During my drive to the bridge, I passed several Amish communities and had the opportunity to see a glimpse of their life as children played tag in the rain outside of on old church building. We also saw several bearded elders driving their horse and wagons down the road. One elder had a completely enclosed wagon complete with a windshield . His wagon was also different than the others in that it wasn't black, but wrapped in what looked like tan leather. We figured he must be the wealthy dude in the community or the mayor! These are probably normal sightings for the residents of Pennsylvania, but for our family it was a new and cool experience! FINAL THOUGHTS One thing I love most about visiting covered bridges is that it forces you off the normal roads of life. I've traveled many back roads to see a variety of bridges around the country, and there is always something new to experience that I may have never seen from the interstates and main roads I would normally travel. Best of all, it only cost you a little fuel. 2016/75
