Perfectly located halfway between Cleveland and Columbus, Mansfield makes a great base for exploring Richland County and has a good selection of tourist attractions.

History buffs can explore Lincoln Highway National Museum and Archives, Oak Hill Cottage (1847), and the rather intimidating Ohio State (Mansfield) Reformatory, which is believed to be haunted.

If you love stately homes and gardens, you should not miss touring the Kingswood Center, while the Carousel Center, where craftsmen hand-make carousel ponies, is a great attraction for all ages.

Other attractions to add to your itinerary are the Mansfield Fire Museum, the Arts and Science Discovery Center at Richland Academy, and the Jones Potato Chip Factory. Map
