Bellefontaine, Ohio: Highest Point in Ohio

Visit the highest point in most states, and you'll see why poets no doubt rushed off to write down their thoughts about the magnificent views.

Such is not the case in Ohio.

Campbell Hill is only 1,549 feet above sea level, and it is not that much higher than its surroundings. But it is good enough to earn the title in Ohio.

A flag marks the high point, which was once used by NORAD during the Cold War days. They are trying to raise money for a museum here; we'll see how that goes.

The best surprise of the visit, besides the "no sledding" signs noted in the Roadside America article,  is a small box on the walkway to the high point. There, you can find blank certificates that can prove you actually visited this spot. What a nice touch for the silly tourist.
