Two minutes from downtown is America's first Harley dealership, established in 1912. A store, museum, and ice cream parlor all under one roof, the original storefront has been carefully re-created, and a life-sized, talking A.D Farrow greets visitors upon their entrance. Enjoy a cup of coffee from the former Harley oil tank (cleaned thoroughly, of course) and browse through a collection of vintage Harleys, clothing, and memorabilia. There is also a vast assortment of current Harley gear in the shop adjacent to the museum.

This is the world's largest hair library and barber museum. It contains material dating back to the 1700's. It is also the site of the Barbering Hall of Fame. The museum is open by appointment only and will not tour more than 30 people at one time.

Aptly billed as "The Fascination Destination," this 300,000 square-foot center offers changing exhibits such as a gravity-defying unicycle visitors can ride across the three-story atrium. Interactive, hands-on exhibits spotlight the ocean, life sciences and archaeology. Be sure to catch a show at the John Glenn Extreme Screen Movie Theater. You'll be wowed by the visual detail of special films on an eye-popping 83 feet wide and 7-stories tall screen.

Collections in the museum range from French Impressionists to American Modernists and other late 19th- and early 20th-c American and European modern art, including major works by Monet, Matisse, Picasso, Renoir, Hopper and O'Keeffe. Changing exhibits include photography, textiles, folk art sculpture and an interactive "I-Spy" show that helps all ages learn about and interpret the featured art. Derby Court and the Sculpture Garden provide places to relax and eat lunch.

This center is also the headquarters of the Ohio Historical Society, a facility that showcases Ohio's history from the ice age to the present and the flagship museum in the society's statewide system of 60 historical sites. This 250,000 square-foot structure is also home to a gift shop, 280-seat auditorium, and the society's Archives/Library, which includes the State Archives of Ohio. Other exhibits spotlight archaeology, as well as Ohio's plants, animals, geology, geography, climate and weather.
