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.

The Worthington Inn
When you arrive, your first stop should be the Worthington Inn, parts of which were constructed as early as 1816. The inn now offers breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week, plus weekend brunch specials. It also features five private dining rooms in varying sizes, so you can rent a room for a birthday party, shower or reception. The top notch culinary team will sure find a way to please your taste buds with fresh, local ingredients so be sure to stop by for a bite or brew!
The Orange Johnson House
After you eat your fill, be sure to continue following the historical trail in Worthington by visiting the Orange Johnson House, another historic building. Constructed in 1811, the building provides visitors with a glimpse into both the pioneer and Federal periods in Worthington. This year features several special events, including an exhibit titled “History, Architecture & the Vignette: A Bill Arter Exhibit” in April, along with farm animal visits.
The Old Rectory Doll Museum
Next on our list is the Doll Museum at the historic Old Rectory building. The Old Rectory, along with its beautiful white front and gift shop, contains a truly impressive collection of 19th and 20th century dolls, including a current exhibit titled “Rag Time.” Regular admission is just $2, so it is worth stopping by to beat the heat or avoid the rain one afternoon!
Jeffers Mound
By far the oldest historical site in Worthington, Jeffers Mound dates back to roughly 100 B.C. and 400 A.D. One of the many earthworks found and examined by archaeologists, Jeffers Mound is believed to have been built by the Hopewell people. The Ohio Historical Society owns and maintains several Hopewell sites, so be sure to brush up on your history and step back in time during your stay.
Rush Creek Village
For a modern take on history, be sure to check out the unique architecture of Rush Creek Village. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, this collection of homes aims to display one-of-a-kind houses for each individual homeowner. However, when looked at altogether, this grouping still adheres to a beautiful, organic and orchestrated architectural layout. Tours are scheduled by the Friends of Rush Creek Village
Ohio Railway Museum
Last but not least, the Ohio Railway Museum offers an amazing “glimpse of railroading’s past.” Founded in 1948, this museum now offers rides in streetcars and a Pullman passenger car, along with countless displays explaining the history of rails. Certainly a great stop for the entire family, be sure to visit this museum before chugging out of Worthington.
