What’s a Rich Text element?

FGHFG

DDFGHDFGH

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Mansfield’s History and Future

Mansfield Has a Bright Outlook

The town of Mansfield was named after the famed Surveying General of the United States, Colonel Jared Mansfield. Mansfield has also associated itself with other famed names, such as John Chapman, or better known as Johnny Appleseed, and Pulitzer Prize winning author, Louis Bromfield.

Growing up, the fields which Chapman had planted and fertilized had stretched out to the stream valleys that course through Mansfield and Loudonville. Many of the orchards and fields Chapman, otherwise known as Appleseed, can still be found in Mansfield and the surrounding county. As for Bromfield, he spent much of his childhood at his aunt’s home in Oak Hill, one of Mansfield’s neighborhoods. His aunt’s gothic-style home, built in 1847, was the inspiration for “Shane’s Castle” behind the famous novel, The Green Bay Tree.

Mansfield had been a huge influence during the industrial age, including the Tappan company, which helped produce the most iron to help make farm tools and kitchen appliances, such as stoves. The biggest company coming out of Mansfield was Westinghouse, which specialized in electric lighting and home appliances. Unfortunately, right as soon as the depression hit, the companies that helped produce these products saw a decline in domestic production, and instead saw many international calls that garnered cheaper rates for companies that sought reasonable labor work for cheap.

The town of Mansfield has many places to visit, eat, and play, it’s hard to pick which to check out first. Luckily, we have curated a list of the best places to visit, including the old Ohio State Sanctuary.

With their office expansion, Bennett strives to make the home buying process easy, and with them being client focused, they are determined to get to know your style and set you off on the right neighborhood to check out while in Mansfield.

Top Places to Go in Mansfield

Why Should You Move to This Great Community?

Mansfield is the perfect community to raise a family, spend the day, or start a business. In addition to the new HER, REALTORS® office, there are a number of businesses and shops in Mansfield worth stopping by -- not to mention the Carousel Theater District and The Cofe Coffee Shop, a retro coffee shop.

Old Ohio State Reformatory
Imagine walking these historical halls and reimagining the set from Shawshank Redemption, or if you are brave enough, take a self-guided tour through the halls and learn about the historical and paranormal connections. Image courtesy of The Ohio State Reformatory.

Old Ohio State Reformatory Ghost Tour

The most famous fact about Mansfield is that the ‘90’s classic, The Shawshank Redemption was made inside of the Ohio State Reformatory. If you are a huge film buff, you should take advantage of their “History Meets Hollywood” tour where you will get a behind-the-scenes tour of the making of the most favorite film in the world. If you are lucky enough, you might hear a personal story from one of the tour guides.

There is more to the Ohio State Reformatory, such as the paranormal. Built between 1886 and 1910, and open until 1990, this old building has many stories to tell, and if these walls could talk, they would talk for hours of the history and events that went down in between these walls.  Ghost hunting is a fun activity for all, but this one is only recommended for those who are eighteen years of age and up. As for right now, the only types of tours that are offered are self-guided tours. If you are a novice or a veteran ghost hunter, you should consider taking a walk through the halls of the Ohio State Reformatory, and discover not only the history, but the terrifying ghosts that haunt it.

Cheer on your favorite drivers as they participate in several different events held throughout the mid to late-Summer months. On your way out of the raceway, don’t forget to pick up a souvenir!

Malabar Farms at Ohio State Park

Malabar Farms is famous for many reasons, especially as a setting for many famous books, films, and plays. Malabar Farms is located right inside of Ohio State Park, and is situated near plenty of hiking trails, like the Doris Duke Woods Trails, which meanders through one hundred and eighty acres of woodland habitat. The trail is named after the tobacco heiress, Doris Duke, who had purchased the woodlot after Bromfield’s death in 1956. Each trail is labeled with a distinct color to help guide you, and will even have you cross over with several others as well.

As for the farm, the farm animals are scattered throughout, and have been grazing on over three hundred acres of pasture since the 1940’s. During your walk along the trails around the farm, you may catch a glimpse of one of the many wild animals that congregate the area, such as hawks and deer. If you are here between March and May, you might get a chance to watch a birth and meet a new addition to the farm.

Carrousel District

No matter what part of downtown you visit, or what time of year it is, there always seems to be something going on in the Carrousel District. With many shops and restaurants to choose from, the options can be endless. As far as shops go, we recommend checking out John’s Hobby Shop, which is located right in the downtown area. For more information on stores to browse through, we recommend checking the downtown’s directory.

Of course, with every town that shows up as the most anticipated town to move to, the most important question is, how is the food? To answer the question for you: it is the best you will have in any town. We recommend checking out the Coney Island Inn, a traditional diner where the featured dish is the famous coney dog. For more tasty finds, we recommend checking the downtown’s dining directory.
