Midwest Holiday Trip
 

We need suggestions for a short 1-2 day trip just after Christmas. We would like a small town/country/snow village atmosphere. Needs to be around OH, IN, MI.

Frankenmuth MI, Santa Claus Ind.

I'm not sure what you could do in Santa Claus, IN for 2 days, unless you go to the amusement park. There's a big statue of Santa, a post office, and a few hotels decorated with Christmas year-round, but we had a hard time killing an afternoon there.

I've never been there, but I read about these places in a travel magazine, you might want to check them out. They were promoted as places to celebrate and &quot;old fashioned Christmas&quot;.<BR><BR>Indiana - Connor Prairie (a pioneer village in Fishers, IN)<BR><BR>Indiana - Zionsville (a small town near Indianapolis). Known for &quot;antique stores, specialty shops and quaint cafes&quot;.<BR><BR>Ohio - Ohio Village. A civil war-era living history village.<BR><BR>Ohio

Traverse City or Petoskey, Michigan.<BR><BR> Keith

Ohio Village in Columbus has an old fashion Christmas with chestnuts roasting, period costumes, crafts etc. Another thought is Zoar Village in Zoar, Ohio.

Nashville, IN - about 40 minutes south of Indianapolis - more shops than any of the other places mentioned, and it is right in the center of the Hoosier National Forest - very cute, quaint shops, good &quot;homey&quot; restaurants, and beautiful scenery

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
