If you live in the Buckeye State, you’re likely proud to call Ohio home.
And when you’re traveling out of state, there are some things that will always make you think of home—no matter where you are. Even after you’ve moved out of state, you’ll never forget where you came from whenever you encounter these 11 things:
- Back roads that look like this:

- Covered bridges
Mike/Flickr Ohio is full of some of the most beautiful covered bridges. In fact, it almost has the most covered bridges in the U.S. (Pennsylvania actually has the most, followed by Ohio.) Pictured is the Knowlton Covered Bridge, which stretches over the Little Muskingum River in Monroe County.
- The smell and fall foliage of autumn
Delta Whiskey/Flickr Sure, our seasons occur out of sequence and at any given time, but the three days out of the year we DO have fall are pure bliss. <3
- Buckeyes
Travis Wise/Flickr No other state has a candy this delicious. Period.
- Small town charm
Mark J. Blum/Facebook We’ve got plenty of it here. And anytime you experience it anywhere else, it makes you think of your own home town and state.
- Rural scenery…
Mike/Flickr Between Ohio Amish Country and back roads scattered throughout the state, this kind of scenery is the picture perfect definition of Ohio.
- …and the corn fields that often come with it.
Mike/Flickr Joke about our massive amounts of corn all you want, but you know you get a little homesick when you’re out of state and you see that heartwarming sight.
- Snow covered barns

- City lights
Allan Foster/Flickr It’s not ALL country here. Ohio has some really special cities. And no other cities in America are quite like Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati. <3
- Nature
Benjamin Lehman/Flickr Because Ohio was made for explorers. <3
- Street construction
