History Along the Maumee: A Self-Guided Driving Tour in Ohio

History Along the Maumee: A Self-Guided Driving Tour in Ohio

Overview

The history of Northwest Ohio is interwoven with threads of myth, legend and folklore that come together along the banks of the Maumee River. Follow them with me on this self guided audio tour as we travel from downtown Toledo to Grand Rapids and back on a journey that shows off the magnificent beauty of the Maumee Valley – and might also reshape your understanding of both the past and present.

Our tour takes in...

• Toledo Middlegrounds
• Tecumseh's encounter with General Proctor at Fort Miami
• Dudley's Massacre
• The House of Four Pillars
• Roche de Bout
• Two ghost towns and a few ghost stories
• Nazareth Hall
• A story from a soldier at Fort Meigs
• Toledo's Gold Coast

There are plenty of delightful places to stop and eat on our 2-hour tour – or, if you prefer, you can pack a basket and enjoy a riverside picnic in one of the many parks we'll come across along the way.

We never got the email for the tour! Please refund my money!! It looked like it would have been fun. The first thing that needs to be told to people booking it, is that it may take an hour to get the email. I wanted to go right away. I never did get the email.

Great way to see and learn all about the history of Toledo. Traveled there with in- laws and father in law didn't want to do lots of walking. Lots and lots of history facts and little historical side notes that made the tour unique. I highly recommend.
