Lakeland Boating - May 2018

Park Marina for shady green space and tennis courts) there are plenty of

nearby places to soak up local culture and cuisine. Great Lakes Grinders, a

seasonal eatery in scenic Shoreline Park, makes mammoth hoagies. The tiny

New Sandusky Fish Company features fresh-from-the-lake perch dinners

and bayside picnic table seating. Daly’s Pub serves a mean Reuben. Small

City Taphouse combines Asian food with an eclectic array of beers. The

old-school Lunch Box is a downtown institution where you can sample an

Ohio classic: Chocolate and peanut butter Buckeye Pie. Along with hip

and modern boutique lodging inside a historic 1830s building, the Hotel

Kilbourne (its logo is a square and compass) offers Mexican-inspired dishes

at OH Taco and creative cocktails at Moseley’s Public House. Tip: Go to

the rooftop bar for an eye-popping perspective of the Bay.

Since historic markers and plaques seem to be everywhere in downtown

Sandusky, you could get mini lessons about the Underground Railroad

at Fracer Park or learn something about Johnson’s Island at the Jackson

Street Pier. However, it’s a lot more fun to roll through history on one of

Sandusky Segwave’s guided Segway tours. Segwave co-owner, Jim Ervin, is

a congenial and knowledgeable guide whose spot-on stories and anecdotes

convey a real sense of place. His tours will tell you why Sandusky has so many

beautiful limestone buildings (the glaciers exposed Lake Erie’s bedrock),

why the 1874 Erie County Courthouse has a 1930s Art Deco exterior (it

was a WPA remodeling project), or why the heart of Sandusky is lovely,

garden-filled Washington Park (Kilbourne put it in his 1818 plat). Ervin

also points out local treasures like: Washington Park’s iconic “Boy with the

Boot” statue and nostalgic Red Popcorn Wagon; the Sandusky State Theatre,

a 1920s movie palace turned performing arts venue; the Merry-Go-Round

Museum, which features a working carousel inside a stately old post office

building; and the Maritime Museum of Sandusky, with its extensive exhibits

of legendary, Sandusky-made Lyman boats.
