Snuggled in the lovely countryside of Logan County, Ohio near the Shawnee village of Mackachack are two massive Gothic castles built in the 1860s and 1870s by two Piatt brothers who grew up in the area. Called Mac-A-Cheek and Mac-O-Chee, the castles have become a private museum that celebrates 200 years of Ohio history.

The castles have three stories, towers, painted ceilings, and intricate woodwork. The Piatt family still owns and manages the castles and started opening them for tours in 1912. Today, they are popular sites for concerts, weddings, receptions, camps, historical reenactments, and other special events.
