WILDWOOD MANOR HOUSE REVIEWS
This historical location always lets me know how much some people care about others and not themselves. Touring through the house at Christmas is a tradition for my family and helps me fight away the Grinch. Although you get to see him somewhere here in the house. The Stranahan family knows how to work for the community. Their blessing lives on! Wish the Champion Company that they founded was still alive and strong for Toledo. The place will bring you hope and joy if you need it every season. And how can you not love model trains on display! Who knew that you could have a shooting range and so many other wonderful rooms, nooks, and crannies! Afterward walking back to the parking lot I always enjoy toasting my marshmallows at the open fire. I go to the car sticky because I'm trying to lick the leftovers of my Smore off my fingers! Always a great time. Just make sure your warm if there's a wait to get in and bring walking shoes. Hope you have fun & learn a lot!
We recently held our wedding ceremony at the Manor House. It is a beautiful venue that exceeded all our expectations! Jessica Guy was so helpful in all of the planning and set up of our special day! She truly went above and beyond! It proved to be an ideal location for our wedding. Our only recommendation would be to book the whole house for you and your guests to explore and enjoy!
Absolutely amazing home and local history! The curator was fantastic and was able to hold the attention of my 3 young boys. Not an easy task.

EDWARD D. LIBBEY HOUSE REVIEWS
The interesting old home venue for special events. Upper floors have areas in serious need of Photo is of the ancient electrical panel. photo is of the ancient electrical panel. We were told by someone probably in her 70s that it was reminiscent of her grandmother's home.
Interesting old home venue for special events. Upper floors have areas in serious need of repair, but I suspect most events will be first floor exclusively or in areas that are kept up. Dates from circa 1900 or a little before from what we were told. Photo is of ancient electrical panel. We were told by someone probably in her 70s that it was reminiscent of her grandmother's home.
Beautiful, Historical home. Christmas decorations are marvelous.

Pythian Castle is a Romanesque-style building. Pythian Castle was founded in 1890 by the fraternal group Knights of Pythias. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The Castle boasts an exterior of contoured sandstone, a conical roof, window arches, and a tower. Outside, the Knights and businesses use an auditorium, ballroom, and more than 30,000 square feet of space. It was sold to a developer in the downtown area who also had enough money to maintain the roof of the 126-year-old structure. It provides one of the tribunal's best views.

PYTHIAN CASTLE REVIEWS
This priceless piece of History is currently being Restored to it's former Beauty, by a Team that takes pride and understands the value in preserving such a large part of what makes Toledo a shinning star.
Very cool building and to comment on some of the previous posts, the building is being restored but is taking longer than expected due to permit delays.
Interesting place to look at. Part of Toledos History for sure. Can't wait until someone takes an interest in it and restore it.
