Plan Your Field Trip
A little trip planner for guests of the Schoolhouse and Matilda. Add the places that catch your eye, tell us your dates, and we will lay out day-by-day plans — timed around open hours, how long you will want to linger, and the drive between each stop.
Eat & drink
Coffee, comfort food, and a few local treasures. Tap ＋ to add a stop to your trip. Hours change — a quick call ahead never hurts.
Wineries & tastings
Miami County has a proud wine-making history and a lively revival, with live music and food trucks on many weekends.
Things to explore
Lakes and trails, big-cat rescues, dark-sky stargazing, cider doughnuts, and a few quiet corners of the prairie.
Local shops & antiques
For browsing and treasure-hunting — antiques, boutiques, fiber arts, and home goods in both downtowns.
What’s on this year
Area festivals and events, all within about 30 minutes. Tap ＋ to weave one into your plan. Dates marked “confirm” weren’t final at the time of writing.
