My son, E.J. Peiker, nature photographer (ejphoto.com) and electronic engineer at Intel Corporation in Chandler, AZ, visited his former home, Mansfield, OH, from October 17 to 21, 2008. "Great to be back for a few days," was his comment.

Richland County has so many beautiful lakes. Sites Lake is great for fishing and visiting. It is especially beautiful in the fall.

An excellent Autumn view of the Clear Fork Gorge at Mohican. This area is a white pine-hemlock forest. Mohican is just as beautiful as the Hocking Hills with the waterfalls, rock outcrops, and vistas.

Surprisingly we spent most of the day here at Malabar Farm. The kids loved see the animals and I went around and took a lot of photographs. The was a great place to spend the afternoon with the family.

We made the trip from Delaware, OH to visit Mohican and Malabar Farm. After leaving Mohican to head to Malabar Farm we stopped at Mt. Jeez to take in the views. Our daughters were fascinated views and became more excited when a group of cowboys came up and rode directly in front of us. I asked if it was okay to take their photograph and they said "Sure, not a problem". Notice that they are even partaking in the awesome view atop Mt. Jeez. Notice that they are enjoying the view and pointing out points-of-interest to the onlookers.

Kingwood Center has been a favorite place to take special occassion photographs for a long time. In April this year (08) I took my daughter there to take pictures of her before prom. Stunning backdrops are available there from Spring to Fall.
Carousel Fun said:Sunday October 5, 2008
We come to Mansfield a couple of times every year, and the carousel is our girls\' favorite place to go. It would be a sad trip indeed without a trip downtown to the shiny, fun carousel. Pictured is our oldest, Rachel, 4 years old.
Malabar Farm said:Sunday September 7, 2008
A recent trip to Malabar Farm yielded some awesome photo opportunities as well as a great learning adventure about the farm community and the area as it \"was\" along with the great maple syrup and seeing the Bromfield history, its a must see for everyone

Jake and Reilly fed the peacocks at Kingwood Center while enjoying their lunch on the lawn. Actually, the peacocks enjoyed their lunch even more!

My nephews Reilly and Jake enjoyed their day visiting Malabar Farm. They loved the tractor outside the Visitors Center!

The best venue in North Central Ohio is the Renaissance Theatre. This beautiful theatre has something for everyone. The upcoming summer musical is Into the Woods, written by James Lapine who grew up in Mansfield.

WE VISITED KINGWOOD CENTER FOR THE DAY. THE KIDS ENJOYED WALKING AROUND, SMELLING THE FLOWERS, PLAYING IN THE FOUNTAINS AND SEEING THE DUCKS AND PEACOCK.

Every year the ISMAS and 410 sprints return in August to Mansfield's track. My family and friends count down the days to their return each year. The weekly racing series is greatly missed but we are grateful for the schedule MMS has retained.

my mom is 89 yrs. old. she loves carosels, she has 85 of them. she wanted to ride a carosel so much. she cannot climb ,the base is too high. imagine her suprise to find out they have a ramp. she was so happy, she got to ride. thank you so much. it was so worth coming all that way. she also wanted a fried bologna sandwich , so we went to coney island, too. of course, our first stop was at the living bible to see the \"life of christ\". thank you for making her day. the only bad part was we forgot our camera.

My friend and I visited the Carrousel Park, took a tour of the Carrousel Museum and strolled through the Kingwood Gardens. We learned so much. We will come back again!
Mansfield Reformatory said:Monday July 14, 2008
We came for a visit to Mansfield so we could take the tour of the building. It is amazing and so beautiful. Its great that the group of volunteers put so much effort into keeping it running.

Mansfield is one of the hidden treasures of Ohio. With having the Kingwood Center, Ohio State Reformatory and all the amazing old architecture, it's a photographers dream. The image to the left is that of the old oak tree seen at the end of Shawshank Redemption, which was filmed in Mansfield.

The Ohio State Reformatory was an amazing experience! More photography on www.RejectedMemories.com

I made the trip to Mansfield to visit the Kingwood Center and Ohio State Reformatory. I was very impressed with both. The Kingwood Center is the best botanical garden I've been to. Please visit more of my photography on www.IdeaAttic.com

We were visiting family in town and my son Kaden loved the duck pond and fountains at Kingwood Center! What a great free place to spend time in the summer.

My Wife and I enjoying a wonderful spring day at Kingwood Center with family. Walking through the Gardens at Kingwood is always a pleasure. Our entire family loves walking through the Gardens here.

My friend took me to Mansfield this spring to show me the beautiful gardens of Kingwood. We both took along our cameras and snapped away, and came home with some amazing photos of the garden in full bloom! This is a magical place and I can't wait to take my family there for a tour soon!

I attended the Grand Am race at Mid-Ohio last weekend (21-22 June 2008) and had a great time, even though the weather wasn't the best. I enjoy the races at Mid-Ohio but the surrounding area is also a great place to visit.

My Dad's favorite part of living in Richland County was Mid Ohio Sports Car Course!

I had a friend who had never visited Kingwood Center, So I took her on a tour this past month and she loved it. While we were there my one year enjoyed himself running all over. Being from Mansfield, Kingwood Center has always been a place I've talked about, and would most recommend to anyone as a must see. You can enjoy Kindwood all year around.

A group of us went to Mansfield Motorsports Park and took part in their Badfast program where we got to ride along with one of the professional drivers. It was a RUSH cruising around the track at more than 100 MPH in a 400-horsepower, Nascar-style Chevy Monte Carlo! (Just look at all of our smiles!) We highly recommend it for groups, birthdays, etc. Our driver, Dan Mager, was fantastic.
