Historic Sites in Lorain

"Moored along the city’s Lake Erie shoreline, you can find the incredible USS Cod that is now preserved as both a moving memorial and museum. Set right next to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, it offers fascinating insight into life aboard a submarine and the service it saw during the Second World War and Cold War. One of the best-preserved submarines in the country, it served between 1943 and 1971 and was impressively awarded seven battle stars in World War II."

"The USS Cod Submarine Memorial, a National Historic Landmark, is located on the shores of Lake Erie. This World War II submarine has a storied history of battles and rescues. It was responsible for the first submarine-to-submarine rescue, which occurred in 1945."

"Definitely take a peek inside Wade Memorial Chapel at the Tiffany-designed interior. Afterward, head down Mayfield Rd. and into Little Italy. There are mom-and-pop galleries and shops galore, but, let's be real, we're here for the food. Have lunch at one of the local favorites like Mama Santa's for Sicilian pizza, Mia Bella for upscale Mediterranean, or Guarino's for Italian home cookin'."

"The Cleveland Museum of Natural History is sure to please not only the children in your family but all the adults too. The museum offers several engaging educational activities for children of all ages and you should be sure to visit their website ahead of your visit to find out what to expect and how to get the most out of your visit.

"Melt Bar & Grilled is definitely one of my favorite Cleveland restaurants. All of the different sandwiches are incredibly unique while still…. Didn't find what you were looking for?"

"This place is a really reasonably priced vegan-friendly restaurant in Cleveland. Aside from their tasty fresh juices made to order, you can get a variety of great food including vegan or vegetarian Pad Thai and Vegan Nachos with a scrumptious vegan cheese sauce. Plus, each month they have a special that always has a vegan option."

"Serving eclectic fare like pad Thai AND burritos, Johnny Mango has earned its title as an Ohio City staple. Start with the surprisingly gooey and delicious vegan nachos, and then move on to the pad Thai. Pro-tip, add the fiery lime sauce on the side!"

"Walk through a long hallway adjacent to the Grog Shop and head down the stairs to this cozy cellar bar. There is a four-paneled wall of refrigerated craft beer and a seating area surrounded by wooden wine racks. The wine bar is modern but not haughty, the atmosphere is relaxed and the bartenders are knowledgeable about all things wine and beer."
