The Shenandoah Travel Plaza in Ohio

Located along I-70, US-40 (National Road) east of Cambridge, Ohio, noted for unique architecture.  It was closed and plans were to tear it down after it was auctioned off in 2007.  It was built in the early 1970s and closed in 2003.

It has an interesting sign across the front and its front is modeled after the cabin of the USS Shenandoah, a US Navy rigid airship that crashed in the area in 1925.

Consisted of a truck stop, restaurant, motel, conference center, convenience store as well as gas and diesel pumps.

Owned and operated by the Luburgh family.when it was constructed.

Open again as of 2012.

I'll be planning on a visit.
