Heading to Dearborn MI from South Jersey...have questions..

Just beginning to gather info for our upcoming trip to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn Mi. We plan on talking it slow and relaxing, and will stop for a nite to hopefully see some sites along the way. We figure to take I76 to I80 and should be in the Pittsburgh to Monroeville area approximately 5+ hours in, so thought we would look for a suitable overnite spot in this area. Any suggestions for either suitable CG or interesting spots to check out? I will certainly Google for ideas but suggestions from this site are always helpful and interesting..thanks.

    Thanks for the suggestions! Will certainly check into the Flight 93 memorial..those passengers were true heroes, and will also look into the Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit. Any more suggestions?? Thanks everyone!

    Read the above.

    Also, for a nicer and way less expensive ride, as soon as you get near Cleveland switch up to RT2 and take that to 280 and north.

    Make it 3 if you want to do the Rogue Assembly Plant tour.

    If you haven't stopped at the Flight 93 memorial, it's well worth a visit. Should be right near your stopping point.

    I can’t help you out with things to do along the way, but I can tell you the Henry Ford is absolutely amazing. Enjoy!
