$20 for a Rookwood Factory Tour for Two ($40 value)

Led by knowledgeable guides, the two-hour tour weaves through the streets of Cincinnati to Findlay Market, where guests learn the history of both the area and the Longworth family. Next, guests descend into the basement of the factory, where they can browse pottery molds up to 130 years old before coming back to ground level to watch artists create new pieces. Tours depart Wednesdays and Thursdays at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

American Legacy Tours

Initially designed as a temporary tour and fundraiser for student travel, American Legacy Tours began humbly as the Newport Gangster Tour in 2008. When met with overwhelming success, the friends who had embarked on what they thought was a temporary project decided to take root and expand, creating American Legacy Tours in 2010.

Their first order of business as an official company was to introduce the Queen City Underground Tour, an exploration of the city's underground tunnels and history as a rabbit village. Today, a cadre of educated guides leads 10 different area walking tours, including seasonal Spirit of Christmas Tours and Newport is Haunted Tours held around Halloween.

The Groupon Guide to: Pilgrim Rhymes

Most schoolchildren learn about the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony from a series of mnemonic rhymes. Here's a look at how well these couplets hold up to historical scrutiny:

The Rhyme: They hunted turkey for work-y/And for chuckles they ate their own buckles.
True or False? While it is true that most of the Pilgrims were employed by the Dutch East India Company as turkey trappers, there is little historical evidence to suggest that the Pilgrims ate their own buckles for fun—it's more likely they ate the buckles for their high iron content.

The Rhyme: Seeking freedom of thought/On the Mayflower they fought/Millions and millions of mermen.
True or False? The Pilgrims were actually already free to practice their religion at their settlement in Holland, and their reason for coming to America had more to do with cultural identity than freedom to worship. Also, the mermen are thought to be apocryphal.

The Rhyme: If you fall asleep covered in mud/The Pilgrims appear to eat all your blood.
True or False? Every mother warns her children that if they refuse to take their bath, a vengeful band of Pilgrims will materialize to extract a terrifying revenge. This is true, but you can also trigger the appearance of the bloodthirsty Pilgrims simply by reading the word "Pilgrim" nine times in the course of a day.

Was the Mayflower attacked by mermen?
