A specific pedestrian connection helps visitors find their way around Howland Center: A sidewalk along Clifton Drive connects East Market Street with the trail at Howland Township Park. The area is also one of Howland’s important retail destinations. This brings together different points to consider when planning a trip: a named connection in the center and the area’s role as a retail destination. Cultural and nature-related attractions add to the picture of Howland at the township level.

On foot between the street and the park trail

The existing sidewalk runs along Clifton Drive and connects East Market Street with the trail at Howland Township Park. The named endpoints give the connection a specific framework: it leads from a street to the trail at the park. This is more helpful for finding your way than a general reference to walking opportunities, since both the route and its destination are named. If you would like to include a walking option in your plans, you can consider this connection separately from the question of what you would like to do in the park.

Howland Center as a retail destination

The Howland Center retail hub is one of Howland’s important retail destinations. This offers a different way to understand the area than the sidewalk connection: here, the focus is on its role as a retail destination, while the other refers to a specific route with named endpoints. When considering which aspect of the destination matters to you, you can weigh these separately. The retail role places Howland Center within Howland, while the sidewalk connection provides a specific way to get around on foot.

Art at the Medici Museum of Art

In Howland, the Medici Museum of Art displays the James and Renie Grohl Collection and presents an annual exhibition featuring works by local artists. The museum garden is also home to the permanent, six-foot-tall bronze sculpture “Poseidon,” completed in 2023. The art offerings range from a named collection and an annual exhibition to a permanent garden sculpture. You can consider these highlights according to whether you are particularly interested in the collection, art by artists from the community, or a sculpture in the garden. These art destinations add a cultural connection at the township level to the picture of Howland Center.

A stroll through the park landscape

The Howland Boardwalk Nature Trail invites you to take a walk through Howland Township Park. Howland Community Park covers 172 acres and is centrally located in the Township of Howland. These details emphasize different points for planning: the Boardwalk Nature Trail is about taking a walk, while the Community Park is described in terms of its size and central location in the township. This can help you decide whether a specific trail or the park’s acreage is more relevant to your interests. Both are useful for finding your way around Howland, while the sidewalk along Clifton Drive establishes a local connection to Howland Center.

Choose accommodation that suits your plans

So first consider whether the sidewalk connection and retail role in the center, or the art and nature attractions in Howland, matter most to you. With that priority in mind, you can tailor your search for a hotel in Howland Center to your own travel plans.
