Canton Tourist Attractions: From Resort Camping to Wine Tasting
Canton tourist attractions range from art galleries and theaters to small-town shopping excursions and rolling golf courses. Here’s a list of Canton tourist attractions, including nearby resort camping, wine tasting and a ride on a historic railroad.
Clay’s Park Resort
Outdoor enthusiasts get the resort camping experience at Clay’s Park, where there are hundreds of camping sites and cabins available for rent. Along with fishing, hiking and bicycling, campers may enjoy convenient amenities like an indoor swimming pool and sauna, water park, miniature golf course and on-site restaurant.
Five Oaks Historic Home
A national treasure built by renowned architect Charles F. Schweinfurth in 1894, the Five Oaks Historic Home in Massillon is registered with both the Ohio Historical Society and the National Register of Historic Places. From the castle-like entrance to the 30 lavish rooms, the famed house is in virtually perfect condition.
Orrville Railroad Heritage Society
More than 90,000 passengers have enjoyed trips on the Orrville Railroad Heritage Society steam and diesel locomotives. The society is responsible for restoring the Pennsylvania Railroad Union Station, a historical landmark built in the late 19th century. Join the visitors enjoying the restored equipment to travel back in time on classic passenger cars.
Gervasi Vineyard & Italian Bistro
Stroll the 55-acre vineyard’s beautiful gardens, walk to the property’s six-acre lake, then enjoy a meal at The Bistro after working up an appetite. Of course, no trip to Gervasi Vineyard is complete without some wine tasting and a tour of the wine-making facilities, which include a crushing house, winery and wine cellar. Finally, bring home some gourmet goodies from The Marketplace, also located on the grounds. All of this is just minutes from downtown Canton.
