History buffs will love visiting Fort Meigs State Memorial, the site of a battle in the War of 1812. Tours of the attached museum and reconstructed fort are available, and historical reenactments take place throughout most of the year. Take a break from history and check out Levis Commons, a small outdoor mall where specialty shops and independent merchants replace the usual chain stores. There are some great restaurants and a movie theater here as well.
If you’re ready for some outdoor fun, then it’s time for a little fishing or paddle boating at Three Meadows Park, located near the historic district. There are also grills and picnic tables, so bring food and spend a relaxing day here with your family. Speaking of the historic district, it’s worth a visit as well. The area around Louisiana Avenue and Front Street is filled with buildings in different stages of historic preservation. You can trace the city’s 175 year history through its architecture as you stroll through these streets, perhaps imagining the lives of those who strolled them before you. If you’re a golfer, there is no better place to tee off than at the Crosswinds Golf Course—perfect for your active lifestyle!
