Universally called "The Jake," this stadium is a source of pride for Clevelanders and home to their beloved Indians. If you get the chance, make plans to attend a ball game. This fan-friendly structure is a fantastic place to catch one. If you're not able, take a tour and learn more about the steel and concrete facility and its $169 million price tag. Don't forget to see the space-age scoreboard activated, and make sure to sit in the dugout, at least for a minute.

Since 1820, the sweet strains of a congregation's hymns have been heard emanating from the Old Stone Church. Cleveland's first settlers, Lorenzo and Rebecca Carter, were charter members. This is the oldest building in downtown Cleveland, and two of the magnificent stained glass windows were created by Louis Tiffany himself. Ten or more people may schedule a docent-guided tour during business hours.
