Over 25 hands-on exhibits focus on the history of money, its effects on the way we live, and its central role in peoples’ lives. The museum is open Monday through Thursday, 9:30-2:30, closed bank holidays.

The museum is located in the lobby of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, headquarters of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s Fourth District.The building, completed in 1923, resembles an Italian palazzo, is clad in pink Siena marble and is on the Register of Historic Places. The door to the original vault is the largest door in the world, supported by the largest hinge ever built.

The museum and historic main lobby are open to the public. You will need a valid photo ID to enter the Federal Reserve Building.

Learn about money; visit an architec-tural gem; it’s free! (1455 East Sixth Street; 216. 579.3188)

A short distance from the Glidden House is Severance Hall, the winter (and spring and fall) home of the world-renowned Cleveland Orchestra. Severance Hall is regarded by music-lovers as one of the world’s most beautiful concert halls. As for the orchestra, it is one of the most sought-after perform-

ing ensembles in the world and Northeast Ohio’s most visible international ambassador. Music Director Franz Welser-Möst is in his fifteenth year as leader of the orchestra, whose October-December schedule features the works of Bartók, Beethoven, and Brahms, music from Romeo and Juliet, and eight days worth of Christmas concerts, including an Irish Christmas concert. So for an evening of music by an amazing orchestra that Northeast Ohio residents rightfully consider their own world treasure, in-side one of the world’s finest culture halls, make plans now to

attend a concert. You’ll be glad you did. (11001 Euclid Avenue; 216.231.1111)

In nearby Little Italy, you’ll find several galleries well worth a visit. One of our favorites is La Bella Vita, one of the country’s larg-est Italian import shops, and one of just 14 Villa Vietri “stores of distinction” in the U.S. La Bella Vita is a destination for finer, ca-

sually elegant dinnerware and serveware specialty gifts. The store is over 2,000 sq. ft. of dinnerware, flatware, serving pieces, linens, wine decor & accessories, glassware, music and more. La Bella Vita carries exclusive lines of better products not dis-tributed through chain or departments stores. (2013 Murray Hill Rd.; 216.421.1717)

Another favorite is Pennello Gallery featuring the work of con-temporary American, Canadian and Israeli artists represented in mixed media, jewelry, painting, ceramics, art glass, furniture, metal and sculpture. Also featured is a unique collection of Ju-daica art including menorahs, seder plates, mezuzahs, hamsas and candlesticks. Many of the gallery's artists do custom work, as well.

Soldiers' & Sailors' Monument

Constructed in 1894, the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument stands as a tribute to Cuyahoga County soldiers who served in the Civil War. Its centerpiece is a soaring 125-foot column topped with the statue of the Goddess of Freedom, defended by the Shield of Liberty. The piece signifies the “essence of the Nation for which Cuyahoga County veterans were willing to and did give their lives,” according the monu-ment’s stewards. At its base is the Memori-al Room and esplanade, where visitors can view bronze depictions of civil war battles around the exterior of the monument. Four bronze groupings portray Navy, Artillery, Infantry and Cavalry battle scenes.

Inside the Memorial Room are four bronze relief sculptures honoring the Women's Soldiers' and Sailors' Aid Society, the Beginning of the War in Ohio, the Emancipation of the Slaves and End of the War at City Point, Va., as well as busts of Gen. James Barnett, Levi T. Scofield, architect and main proponent of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument, as well as six officers who were killed in action or died war wounds or diseases.

The column lists the names of 30 battles in which soldiers from Cuyahoga County fought.

Winter hours are Tues.-Sat., 10am-5:30pm. Additional hours are posted at soldiersandsailors.com. ADA accessible.

The Dittrick Medical History

CenterThe Dittrick Medical History Center at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) provides visitors with a fasci-nating look at the history of modern medicine. The museum is a treasure trove of archives, rare book collec-tions, images, and artifacts, including a bloodletting set from 1810, a Civil War amputating set, an 1890 convert-ible examining chair/table, and a 1927 x-ray table.

The Center originated as part of the Cleveland Medical Library Association (est. 1894) and took its current name in 1926, in honor of its � rst curator, Dr. Howard Dittrick. Today it functions as an interdisciplinary study center within the College of Arts and Sci-ences of CWRU. The museum remains one of Cleveland’s best-kept secrets. Open Mon., Tues., Thur., and Fri., 9am-4:30pm; Wed., 9am-7pm; Sat., 10am-2pm. (Allen Memorial Medical Library, 11000 Euclid Ave.; 216.368.2648)Photo credit: Dittrick Medical History Center, CWRU

Cleveland has a proud history more than 200 years in the making.

General Moses Cleaveland of the Connecticut Land Company came to the

Western Reserve and founded the City of Cleaveland in 1796. The name

changed to its current spelling in 1831 when the “a” was dropped to fit the

city's name on a newspaper masthead.

Cleveland Metroparks

There are many reasons to love winter in Northeast Ohio. One of them is the Cleveland Metroparks. One of the re-gion’s most treasured resources, the 25,000-acre system of 18 reservations is ideal for taking in the beauty and quiet that are unique to the winter season.

Pick up the Metroparks’ map booklet, “Path� nder,” which is available at all Cleveland Metroparks nature centers or visitor centers, then bundle up and explore the trails and paths of the Metroparks. Experience the crunch of snow under foot, listen for the calls of owls or coyotes. See nature bejeweled in icicles, or marvel at the beauty of snow-covered trees and frozen waterfalls. Visit Squires Castle at North Chagrin Reservation, which takes on a fairy-tale quality when dusted with snow. While many don’t think of Cleveland’s lakefront as a winter destination, nothing can compare to standing on the cli� s of Huntington Reservation, experiencing winter’s powerful winds and steely whitecaps on Lake Erie.

Life Savers candies were developed in Cleveland. Chocolate manufacturer Clarence A. Crane, father of poet Hart Crane, introduced Crane’s Peppermint Life Savers in 1892 to bolster choco-late sales. In 1913 he sold his Life Saver business and trademark for $2,900 to New York businessmen Edward J. Noble and J. Roy Allen, who then formed the Mint Products Company to market the peppermint candies that Crane supplied.

Small-town charm and entertaining attractions make Medina County a desirable destination.

Medina County is a great place to spend a day or two. Once a part of the Connecticut Western Reserve Area of Ohio, much of Medina’s history can be experienced at the John Smart House, the Medina County Historical Society, and the newly opened Medina Town Hall and Engine House Museum. Another must-see is the Medina Toy & Train Museum. After visiting the museums, soak up Medina’s small-town charm. From the Victorian gazebo in the historic Public Square to the eclectic shops and eateries, Medina’s a special place to hang out.

If you’re lucky enough to find yourself in the area Presidents Day weekend, Feb. 16-19, and you’re looking for a place to “chill,” then be sure to attend the Medina Ice Festival at the Public Square. Since 1995, carvers have come to Medina to

Sugaring time is the Sweetest Season to make Geauga your Destination!

As winter begins to loosen its grip and the sun warms the Sugar Maples, sap begins to move through it’s branches and Sugaring Season begins! For Geauga County, being the #1 producer of maple product in the state, this means lots of hard work (about 40 gallons of sap makes 1 gallon of syrup) …with sweet rewards!

As the sap flows and the scent of boiling sap fills the air, 'Be-hind the Scenes' tours of several Geauga County Sugar Houses welcome you to experience the excitement by offering tours, wagon rides, samples, etc. Each stop has different activities!

DESTINATION GEAUGA COUNTY:

A great place to start your visit is with a stop at the Destination Geauga tourism office in the heart of the Village of Middlefield. Settled in 1799, Middlefield is at the center of Geauga County and offers interesting shops and museums. The staff at Destination Geauga can tell you more about Middlefield and Geauga County, equip you with a Visitor Guide, and provide recommendations for what to see and do during your visit.

Then, sweeten your day with premium chocolates and freshly made fudge from a Middlefield favorite, White House Choco-lates & Candy Kitchen, family-owned and operated since Valentine’s Day “eve” in 1997.

During the long and dreary months in NE Ohio our shop is busy making Valentines (especially chocolate dipped strawberries), Maple condiments during sugaring season, and of course Easter candy and gifts. Our most pressing task is the birthing of chocolate bunnies. They multiple like rabbits to the delight

and need of our customers. Premium milk, dark, and white chocolates fill the shelves for your baskets.

The store is in a newly renovated century home where the knowledgeable staff happily provides samples and answers to questions of a confectionery nature and about Geauga County. Stop in for a visit and then take home something delicious to enjoy, share, or to give as a special gift. FUN – FRESH – FLAVORFUL!

For an elegant dining experience, try the Welshfield Inn. Built in the 1840s, it opened as the Nash Hotel, served as a stagecoach stop, and was part of the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. Today, it’s no longer a hotel, though the original structure still stands at the center por-tion of the building. Instead, the beautifully renovated historic building is home to one of Northeast Ohio’s top restaurants, serving such fare as crab cakes and filet mignon. It’s also a great place for Sunday brunch.

A winter wonderland awaits you in Geauga County. Here, black horse-drawn buggies set against a backdrop of snowy white fields, and sap buckets adorning sugar

maple trees, showcase the sweet serenity of the world’s fourth largest Amish community. And it’s all less than an hour from downtown Cleveland.

The historic Holy Rosary par-ish (built in 1891) remains the community’s religious and social hub, and during spring and summer evenings, the outdoor bocce court at the Alta House Rec Center (built in 1900) is where you can watch some precision, and at times, animated matches. Salute!

The most memorable features of the

Lorain-Carnegie Bridge are the 43-foot

tall “Guardians of Transportation,” which

line its sides. These four huge double-

sided pylons, carved out of sandstone

from nearby Berea, Ohio, represent tech-

nological advances made in transit, with

each Guardian holding a different kind

of vehicle in its massive hands. Frank

Walker designed the pylons and Henry

Hering did the actual sculpting with the

help of a number of local stonecutters.

The bridge was renamed after repairs

in 1983, becoming the Hope Memo-

rial Bridge, in honor of actor Bob Hope

and his family - English immigrants who

came to Cleveland in 1908. William Hen-

ry Hope, Bob’s father, was a stonemason

who worked on the construction of the

Guardians in the 1930s.

Q&A with Dr. Kirsten EllenbogenPresident & CEO, Great Lakes Science Center A 30-year science museum veteran, CEO Kirsten Ellenbogen is the Great Lakes Science Center’s third president. We recently asked the Detroit native to “Take 5” to talk about GLSC and the city she now calls home.

Our Newest Exhibit: All Aboard! The Science of Trains

Q: How has GLSC impacted the Cleveland community?A: Our collaborations with local schools tell a great story. These programs have en-abled middle-schoolers to engineer a pile of wires, batteries, and LEDs into working flashlights and to design and print with 3D printers. We’ve teamed with Head Start centers to provide preschoolers with formative hands-on experiences. And GLSC convenes organizations to discuss and improve our activities, such as water-related education, the STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) education ecosystem, and the Maker Movement (tech-influenced DIY community).

Q: When did science become your passion? A: From grade school through high school, I loved science fairs. My defining moment came when one of the science fair judges offered me a job as a demon-strator at the Detroit Science Center when I was 16. Until then, I hadn’t thought about the people who work behind the scenes to research and develop learning experiences in museums.

Q: What are your favorite Northeast Ohio attractions and restaurants?A: Of course, my family comes to the Science Center a lot. We love making a day of it, with a movie in the Cleveland Clinic DOME Theater and lunch in the Science Center’s Café. My son really loves the new Galaxy Burger! Our other favorite family outing is Tabletop Café in Ohio City with its shelves of games to try over a meal or snacks. When my husband and I are out, we enjoy live theatre at venues such as Cleveland Public Theatre, Cleveland Playhouse, Dobama, Karamu, and we’ll follow Playwrights Local to wherever they’re doing a production. For lunch breaks it is always a treat to get to a lunch and lecture at The City Club of Cleveland, or I head to Map of Thailand or Superior Pho in Asiatown.

Q: Having grown up in Detroit, when it comes to sports, whom do you root for?A: I went to high school near the old Tiger Stadium, home of some extraordinary championship seasons in the 1980s and my love for the Tigers was strong. But Cleveland changed that. We love this city and it loves us right back. So when it comes to local sports, I’m all in for the Cavs, the Browns, and the Indians. How can you not admire (Tribe manager) Terry Francona and the skill, perseverance, and at-titude of the team? I’m looking forward to more World Series games this year!

Family in the NASA Gallery

Q: What makes Great Lakes Science Center (GLSC) special? A: From holiday-themed programming to our newest exhibit All Aboard! The Science of Trains (open through February 19), there’s always something new. You will see things you won’t see anywhere else. Our Dome Theater is the world’s first giant dome cinema laser system. Our NASA Glenn Visitor Center is a congressionally designated NASA center, and the only one that tells Cleveland’s 75-year history of designing and testing technology for spaceflight and aeronautics. And for our youngest scientists, there’s the Polymer Funhouse, where they can climb, slide, build and play.
