Area Description:
Beckoning visitors to the Midwest with a pleasing mix of down-home charm and contemporary flair, Columbus has become the country's 15th-largest metropolitan area. Named after Christopher Columbus, the city invites exploration; visitors can even tour a full-size replica of the Santa Maria. Other highlights are as assorted as the area's past residents. The itinerary includes stops at the birthplace of the Civil War general who offered Savannah to President Lincoln as a Christmas present; the 24,000-square-foot complex honoring a Masters golf legend; and the former home of an award-winning author and cartoonist who attended Ohio State University, one of the largest schools in the country.
