A Christmas Story House in Cleveland, Ohio

Earlier this year I found myself in Cleveland, Ohio. While there were a number of (arguably) more obvious things to capture here, a long standing love of this movie meant I had to see the house from the 1983 holiday classic, A Christmas Story in person.

Complete with a tour and a gift shop across the street, you can even pay to spend the night in the Bumpus House (and thankfully, unlike in the movie, you can avoid the dogs).

Naturally, there is some trickery going on here. During production the house was used for exteriors, but as is often the case, was not actually where the interior scenes were filmed. A Christmas Story is also set in Indiana, but was filmed in Cleveland and Toronto. 

Regardless, the house has been beautifully restored and turned into a really unique Christmas landmark. For fans of this classic or movie locations in general, the house from A Christmas Story is definitely worth a look the next time you're in Cleveland, Ohio.

Indiana State Museum in Indianapolis

From history and pop culture to artwork and noteworthy artifacts, there's no place quite like a state museum to soak up the visual tapestry of a location. The Indiana State Museum does just that with an impressive collection located in White River State Park in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. Here are a few highlights from this museum in the Hoosier state.

Of course, fans of the hit TV show Parks and Recreation will also know that no visit to Indiana would be complete without a visit to Pawnee City Hall. It is a beautiful structure, however it's also located a couple thousand miles away in Pasadena, California.
