Lima Ohio Attractions
Lima, Ohio, easily accessible from I -75, has a population of about 38,000. Lima was established in the early 1800's, but began to flourish in the last two decades of the 19th century with the discovery of oil and the railroad industry. While in Lima visit: The Allen County Museum: exhibiting collections of history, natural history, science, and art with an emphasis on local history; other local museums and the MacDonell House Victorian Mansion. Lima's roots are deep in the Railroad industry as well as commerce in the mid 19th century being only 10 miles from the Miami-Erie Canal.
