Wickliffe, OH

united states

Wickliffe hugs Lake Erie's shore about 20 miles east of Cleveland, connected by a quick shot on I-90 or the scenic lakefront Route 2. Local routes like SOM Center Road link it to inland suburbs, while the interstate brings visitors from across the region. The city's claim to fame is the Wickliffe Mounds Research Center, where you can walk through actual 1,000-year-old Native American archaeological sites preserved under protective buildings.
