I'm going to Columbus next week to see the Shapton dog and pony show. Is there anything else there I should see while I have the chance? Isn't there some type of historic village there? thanks, Ken ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ohio Historical Village & Museum is just off I-71 at exit 111, between the State Fairgrounds and Crew Stadium. That's where Don McConnell started his career. There is a cabinet maker in the "village" part. About 1 mile west is the main campus of The Ohio State University. It's a great place to take a walkabout and see the architecture and the trees. Of course, I'm a bit biased (Go Bucks)! Ken asked: I'm going to Columbus next week to see the Shapton dog and pony show. Is there anything else there I should see while I have the chance?

Sadly, in the name of state budget cuts, the trade program at the Ohio Village was terminated two or three years ago. I'm not sure the village is open at all, except for special occasions and school group tours. But, even if it is, do not expect to see any actual ongoing trade activity. At best, one will encounter costumed "historical interpreters." Sigh .... . German Village, at the South edge of downtown has some interesting older architecture and flourishing micro-brewery activity. Not specifically oldtools activities, but you may not care too much. :-) Don McConnell Uprooted Buckeye, but feeling very much at home in the Ozarks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
