Audra, The hotel is very nice. I read that it is going to be changing to a Marriott Courtyard hotel soon. There is a restaurant in the hotel. The library is very close to the hotel and there is a small museum nearby. Since your time there will be limited, it might helpful to give the list members some background information on your ancestors. We might be able to point you in the right direction as to where to go to gather the information you are seeking. What names are you looking for? Do you have a time frame of when they lived there? Are any ancestors buried there? Do you know what faith they were? Are there specific documents that you are looking for? Hope we can be of assistance.

I have never been there and will be coming from Akron. It appears the only hotel is the Hamiltonian Hotel. Does anyone know anything about it? This hotel would be close to the museum, Lane library and probate etc. records right? Any ideas of things to do or must sees regarding genealogy or otherwise? Thanks you so much.
