About Sandusky, Ohio
Sandusky is a city in Erie County, Ohio, United States, and its county seat. A federal fur trade factory was established in 1808 but was lost at the beginning of the War of 1812. Sandusky has a tourism industry led by the Cedar Point amusement park, as well as various water parks and neighboring islands. It is also noted for being the location of the fictional "Callahan Auto Parts" in the 1995 comedy film Tommy Boy. (Wikipedia)
