On a Friday morning that was already starting to feel hot, this was a pleasant walk through the…read moresun-shared trees in this absolutely beautiful park-like cemetery. Among others, I found the final resting places of the Wright Brothers with their family, and first Lieutenant Patterson, after whom the Wright-Patterson Air Force base are named, along with Charles Kettering (as in the Dayton suburb Kettering), and humor writer Erma Bombeck. The grounds are immaculate, the markers are thoughtfully maintained and the whole place feels like a quiet blend of history and reflection that rewards anyone who takes the time to wander. Climbing towards the upper ridge gives you one of the best surprises here, a clear view of the Dayton skyline rising in the distance through the trees, which adds a nice sense of place to the visit. Woodland Cemetery is large enough to explore without feeling overwhelming, and the mix of shade, rolling hills, and historic figures makes it a genuinely enjoyable stop whether you're here for local history or just a peaceful walk.

My lovey wife's parents are buried here at Woodland so we go 6-8x a year just to check in on them,…read moreput up wreaths and stop by on birthdays and such. The place is very lovely especially during the Fall as the colors from the trees is simply incredible. The roadways in the 'big money' (yes, this is what i refer to the original section as.) have been getting worse as we have been checking in. My favorite spot is on top of the hill where there's a stunning view of Downtown Dayton. Word to the wise, if you're there in your car inside the facility and it's getting close to them closing the gates. Maybe plan on leaving like 15-20mins before they close? Otherwise, you'll have this creepy white pickup truck follow g you around. I know they need you out, but they have learned not to come up and politely ask, they just sit and watch from afar. If you're in to history? Look up the tours in their website. They are incredible. Always informative and you get a ton of stories about the background of some of the folks who are buried here.

I have a fascination with old cemeteries. So on a recent visit to Wright State, the boy decided…read morethat I might be interested in visiting here. Its an interesting combination of old and new that combines history with the future. The old - The original cemetery contained 45 grave sites although only a handful of the markers survive today. Dates on some of the remaining ones date back to the early 1800's and it was originally a family cemetery for the family that lived on the site before it became Wright State University. The new - In the 1970s, expansion of the cemetery was approved for the medical center to inter the bodies of those who had donated their bodies to the medical school. The boy's grandparents had done this and so it was nice to find the brick honoring them and remembering how nice it is that they wanted to continue to do good in death as they had in life. It was a lovely way to honor family members, and as it was Memorial Day, they had been decorated with flags and some family members were there with flowers remembering their loved ones.

Around Labor Day weekend every year, hundreds (maybe thousands) of people venture to Yellow Springs…read moreto witness this lovely gift to the community. A local family decided to beautify this plot of land and planted more sunflowers than you could possibly imagine. It's free, parking is free (do NOT park on US 68, they have safe, free parking right across from the field) and the sunflower field is majestic. You'll see people taking family photos, engagement photos, baby announcements--everything! Again, this is a free gift to the community, but they do take donations to help with the upkeep and management of the field so if you have a few bucks to throw into the donation jar, it's recommended. Be mindful and respectful of the property (don't pick the flowers!) and be aware there are lots of bees so if you're allergic or have young children with you, be prepared that you might get stung! All in all, this is a must-do, must-see destination that's worth the 60-minute drive from Columbus. I suggest making a day out of it and grabbing a bite to eat at a local Yellow Springs eatery while you're in town

Sending my children to Rosewood Learning Center was one of the best decisions I've ever made. As a…read moremom, leaving my kids at a new place is never easy, but Rosewood made that transition so much smoother. My children genuinely loved going there every day. The entire staff embraced them with open arms, treating them as if they were their own. What stands out most is how Rosewood makes learning an exciting adventure. They're always introducing new, fun experiences that keep the kids engaged and eager to learn. When I was searching for the perfect place for my kids, nothing else came close to Rosewood. Now, seeing how well-prepared they were for Kindergarten (and beyond!), I know I made the right choice. The education they received at Rosewood far surpassed what some of my friends' children experienced elsewhere. If you're in the Jamestown area and searching for a nurturing and exceptional preschool or extended care program, I wholeheartedly recommend calling Vicky at Rosewood. Trust me; you won't be disappointed. It's a place where your children will thrive, learn, and be loved.
