Culture

The Bucyrus Historical Society resides in a graceful restored historic home called Scroggs House. Along with the Carriage House, the museum's home is a lovely reminder of a more gracious past. History programs and events dot the calendar throughout the year.

Shopping

U B Dazzled Boutique in downtown Bucyrus is charming, quaint and just plain fun. There's more bling than you can shake your rhinestone glasses at on clothes, accessories and gifts. Browsing the gift store at the Bucyrus Historical Society can be an educational and fun experience. Good buys are model wooden houses, The Bucyrus Cookbook, and handmade seasonal items.

Dine Out

You just can't beat the Brats in a town known for its annual Bratwurst Festival. You can sample the best the rest of the year at The Bratworks, Ltd. stand inside the drive-through liquor store. People buy them by the case to take home to grill, but the staff will do the work for you for a few bucks so you can nibble on the way home.

It's fiesta time for your taste buds at Los Arrieros Mexican Restaurant. Charming and cozy, their Chilaquiles Mexicanos are so good, it drives the locals loco.

Get Outdoors

Concerts in the Park at the Shunk Memorial Carillon, shelters with grills, picnic areas, the Friendship Bridge, soccer, baseball and softball fields and skateboarding ramps round out anybody's play time.

Getting Around

Public transportation is non-existent in Bucyrus, which means you'll need a car. Most drivers have a 19 minute commute; some days, and some hours, it takes longer.
