Why you should go…

Run by the Western Reserve Historical Society in University Circle, the Cleveland History Center bundles several attractions under one roof. The Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum lines up more than a century of automobiles, many built in Cleveland, alongside early aircraft. The lovingly restored 1910 Euclid Beach Park Grand Carousel spins again indoors, with rides included in admission. Add the Hay-McKinney Mansion, the Chisholm Halle Costume Wing, and rotating exhibits on the city's story, and a rainy afternoon disappears fast.
