We don't have a lot of canals or canal history here in Michigan, so I especially enjoy the opportunity to learn about this history of these important late-nineteenth-century transportation arteries in other parts of the Midwest and their importance in the westward expansion of the United States.
Our recent visit to the historic canal town of Grand Rapids, Ohio was a chance to visit some historic canal sites and, more importantly, to relax at a beautiful little Bed and Breakfast inn we discovered along the Maumee River.
Better yet, Ohio's Grand Rapids and The Mill House Bed and Breakfast is only about a half-hour drive southwest of Toledo, making it perfect for a quick getaway for us from the Detroit area!
