Visitors short on time can kill seven birds with one stone at the Western Reserve Historical Society, which operates seven historical properties in the area that include museums, homes, and natural attractions. For those with a penchant for the high life, the History Museum offers tours of a 1911 mansion and a costume collection featuring garments dating from the late 1700s, while car buffs may prefer the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum and its collection of automobiles and aircraft ranging from model T's to modern-day Jaguars.
Also on the Society's roster is the home of James A. Garfield, the 1815 Shandy Hall that features many of its original details, and the Loghurst Farm Museum, an 1800s farmhouse with its original period furnishings. Kids will enjoy Hale Farm & Village, which features a stable of farm animals and a living history village where artisans demonstrate glassblowing, blacksmithing, spinning, weaving, candlemaking, and basketmaking. Attractions are in various locations, so visitors should call the main number for details.
