Perry's monument is a giant 300-foot tall dangus that sticks up out of the middle of Put In Bay island. It's a memorial to a bunch of stuff from the war of 1812, but it's really just a nice location to feel the breeze and look at the lake and sit in the shade of the giant concrete dongus. If it were open, one could ride up and down in it, but it's still a peaceful area. There is a visitors center too for those of you into reading and learning about stuff.

I grew up 20 minutes from here and knew it existed but had never been here (that I remember). To think how young some of these men must have been and that some probably were forced to fight and die away from their families is sad, as war always is. If we don't learn from history we are destined to repeat it.... The island is private another reviewer suggests driving around to look at the houses. There are signs everywhere asking not to do so.

More history in NW Ohio…read more It took me a while to appreciate the history of NW Ohio... what with the battle of Lake Erie occuring... in Lake Erie (woah), and this confederate cemetary here (which I only discovered a few years ago). The Black Swamp history. The glass city. The area may seem bland, but the history is there. There's not much that can be said about the cemetary... It's a cemetary. Not as large as Arlington, obviously. But it sure has an impact on you when you walk in. I'm glad for the photos another user has uploaded here. The cemetary is located on Johnson's Island out at the tip of Marblehead. You have to pay $1 to use the bridge to access the island, unless you can duck through the gate behind a resident islander (or know the code). Once on the island, don't just go to the cemetary... drive around and appreciate the amazing houses on the "inner circle" inlet. Pretty wild... And don't forget to stop at the Marblehead Lighthouse, then grab a bite at Netty's Chili Dogs. =)

Great children's area!…read more We were in the area and decided to stop by and visit. The library is open on a Sunday which is rare for most libraries. They have a spacious children's area with lots of books and areas to play. There was a giant boat, aquarium with colorful fish, interactive table, plus a great play area for children six and under. My kids loved all the stuff to do in the play room and I loved that the door was shut so they wouldn't interrupt others in the library. They also have a family bathroom that is perfect for kids just starting to potty train.

Glacial Grooves is a beautiful and interesting stop on the island.

The grooves are pretty cool to see, and there were some informative plaques to explain the history and geology of the place. It won't take you long to see, unless you're hiking the trails. We went back a second time for the trail, and minus an off-leash uncontrolled dog incident, had a pretty good time.

We enjoyed a small picnic and walk around the pond here with our dog. Only half of the pathway is…read morepaved, and the more natural sections were filled with wild grass and grasshoppers. There was also some art and sculptures to view. We came on a weekday in the middle of the afternoon and were lots of other people there so it was really disappointing that they had shut down the bathrooms. We passed by three elderly women who wanted to do the walk around the pond, but we're discussing the fact that they needed to use the restroom so they were leaving to go to the McDonald's up the street. There was no reason why that bathroom shouldn't have been open . The lighthouse and all the information provided were very neat. It seems like the best times to visit are weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day as that's when the offices are open and you can buy tickets to tour the light house. There was also a small lending library here and I think my favorite thing was actually the Statue of the dog with the lighthouse keeper.
