Lancaster, OH

Lancaster, OH is the birthplace of General William Tecumseh Sherman, a fact which gives the town some gravitas. Looking at the GPS, the house seemed very nearby and all we had to do was follow directions. That's when things went wrong. I was driving and Mrs. was holding the GPS when it asked me to do the opposite of what I expected it to do. We both got confused and Mrs. took the above photo thinking it was the house, but clearly it isn't (see below photo by Judson McCranie via Wikimedia Commons). Oh well. Next time, Tecumseh. 

Update: Upon careful review, the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio (top photo) is right next the Sherman House. All I can say is that, not being familiar with the town while trying to safely drive a motor vehicle, confusion won the day. Below, Google Street View solves the mystery.

  1. Close, but no cigar. I did get a peek of it in my 2 photos. 🤷🏼‍♀️
