ABOUT
That's what someone said to me once when I told him where I was from. I usually say, "You know, like Shakespeare? 'This is my kinsman'?" My brother, my pal, my friend. That's what it means.
Having it in Kinsman does sort of make our wedding a "destination" wedding, even though you usually think "Hawaii" when you think destination, but I can promise those of you who have never been to northeastern Ohio that while we don't have white beaches and waterfalls, we do have the prettiest fall colors you've ever seen. I hope you can get some homemade apple cider and some real maple syrup while you visit us.
Kinsman is the childhood home of Clarence Darrow, has its own paranormal society, and parts of the Underground Railroad run through it. This is also Amish country, and you may see a horse & buggy on the way from the Cleveland John Hopkins Airport, especially if you take 322, or possibly even coming from Pittsburgh.
TRAVEL
We're just a scant distance from western Pennsylvania, and equidistance from 3 airports: Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Akron-Canton. I personally like Akron-Canton best because it's teeny tiny and sort of like the plane pulls right up to your car. This is a good airport if you're coming from CO.
How to get to the wedding from each airport:
LODGING
For out of town guests, I do not recommend getting hotels near these airports, because you'll have an hour and a half drive back from the wedding to the airport. There are two hotels only about a half hour away from the wedding here: Holiday Inn Express and Fairfeld Inn Marriott.
There will be updates to this post if we're able to secure a block of rooms for our guests. Um, we just haven't gotten that far yet...
I am fascinated by the idea of the Kinsman Paranormal Society. I had no idea Kinsman was so cosmopolitan. :)
ReplyDeleteThe website hasn't been updated since May 2009, I think. They investigate the cemetery, and the Rexall Drug strip, and I think that was it. Not even ghost bridge.
