====We live in the Midwest. We are boarded by Penn., WV, Ky. and Ind. The Ohio River boarders our south and Lake Erie is to our north. Ohio is mainly flat with a few rolling hills in the southeast corner near Marietta. Ohio has many wonderful sites to see if you visit our state. We have King's Island in the Southwest region, Cedar Point in the Northwest corner. These are two great amuzement parks for the thrill seeker. In central Ohio in the state's capital of Columbus, you will find COSI, the science museum, The Ohio State University, home of the Buckeyes and the state buildings. If you prefer the water there is Lake Erie for boating and fishing, the Ohio River for stern wheel boat cruses and Alum Creek for good water skiing.====

The state songs are: Beautiful Ohio and Hang on Sloppy.
Ohio offers many different habitats to explore from grasslands, to water habitats, chances are whatever you are looking for can be found here. We experience all four of the season, spring, summer, fall and winter. Our summers are hot and muggy and our winters are cold and snowy.
