The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the stories of the four great lakes in North America: Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. From chilling maritime history stories and early voyages, to past and present developments, to their importance as natural resource, visitors get to learn everything from the museum’s over 300 displayed genuine artifacts.
Yes, this is a hidden gem in Toledo, Ohio.
I highly recommend checking this museum out. Even kids would love the interactive displays.
How long will it take to see everything in the museum? It is easy to spend a couple of hours here. If you include the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship (anchored to a port next to the main museum) in your tour, spare at least 3 hours.
