1812Blockhouse

Special to 1812Blockhouse

January was a blur; we may have already thrown our Year’s resolutions out the window, but don’t give up yet! We’ve got plenty of activities to get you up, moving, and out of the house to learn something new.

First, we have a few special treats to share. The Phoenix Brewing Company is hosting a vow renewal (Feb. 11) for Craft beer-loving married couples who are 21+. Make your own tufted candy heart with your endearment at the Mansfield Art Center for Valentine’s Day Date Night (Feb.15) with your significant other. Learn to make “love potions” in this Valentine’s Day-themed Mixology class at 1285 Winery (Feb. 9). Kingwood Center Gardens is hosting Extra Hours at Kingwood which means they stay open from 5-7 p.m. on Thursday evenings.

The hustle and bustle of the holiday season is behind us and many of us are creating New Year’s resolutions and bucket lists for the start of a brand-new year full of possibilities.

Need bucket list of ideas? Consider reserving a seat for the next Prohibition at the Caverns? Enjoy an 8-course fine dining experience in the historic Caverns located at Hudson & Essex for an unparalleled dining experience. Don’t forget the Historic Ohio State Reformatory also offers overnight paranormal investigations throughout the year. Explore one of the most haunted prisons in the world on a public Ghost Hunt for a night like no other. You can view our calendar or contact the prison for more information.

For those that love all things quirky, the Mansfield Memorial Museum has you covered. Pop in and say hello to Elektro, the walking, talking robot made in Mansfield by Westinghouse for the 1939 New York World’s Fair. While you’re there, check out the newly opened Frank P. Lahm Aviation Museum to learn about the Brigadier General and more local history. The collection features artifacts ranging from film to uniforms dating from 1852 through today.
