The Natural Treasures section suggests parks, nature preserves and beaches where the county's natural history can be explored and enjoyed. There is even a chapter on ghost towns and their fascinating history!Illustrated with images from the attractions, this book is a must for both visitors and residents who want to learn more about this popular Lake Erie tourist destination.
