Ohio is rich with history. More U.S. presidents have come from Ohio than any other state, the Wright brothers' workshop in Dayton launched today's aviation industry, and so much more. Arguably Ohio's most significant contribution to our nation's history is the Underground Railroad.
Passage to Freedom is an exciting new heritage and multi-cultural tourism program offering visitors the chance to experience history where it happened. Visitors can access detailed information directly from the new website, as well as use interactive kiosks at select Ohio Underground Railroad sites to access information about the site and its history.

Enter to win a two-night stay in Columbus. You’ll get to splash away at the brand-new Zoombezi Bay water park and visit the animals at the neighboring Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. Plus, you can be a super sleuth in the high-tech “CSI: The Experience” exhibit at COSI Columbus, and walk amid the butterflies at Franklin Park Conservatory. Dine at the historic North Market and the Buckeye Hall of Fame Cafe, where you’ll enjoy its decadent ice cream Buckeye dessert. Stop by the Experience Columbus Visitor Center to pick up your copy of the North Market Cookbook.
