Description: The Bicentennial barn-painting program was an inexpensive, grassroots marketing campaign that painted the official logo of the Ohio Bicentennial on a highly visible historic barn in each of Ohio's 88 counties. Over 2,000 farmers and landowners submitted their barn descriptions to the committee for consideration. Beginning in 1998, artist Scott Hagan spent five years painting the logos, tailored to every barn's unique character. Typically, the barn owners hosted a celebration at the completion of their barn painting. This photograph is an exterior view of Barn #4, located along I-80 in Wood County. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Section of a panorama painted by Albert Ruger in the 1880's depicting an event known as the "Great Locomotive Chase" or "Andrews' Raid." In 1862, Secret Service Agent James J. Andrews led volunteer Union soldiers, mostly Ohioans, on a mission to steal a Confederate locomotive and drive from the south to the north, destroying the rail lines along the way. The mission failed shortly after it was begun and several of the captured men were hung while others were later exchanged and some escaped. This scene depicts William J. Knight keeping vigil over his former self. Knight was a private in the 21st Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Company E who participated in the raid. Knight escaped and in 1878 he began touring and giving lectures describing the raid. Ruger's panorama accompanied him for more than eighteen years. The panorama is now part of the museum collections of the Ohio Historical Society. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph showing the State Dam. The caption beneath the photograph reads: "State Dam, North of Piqua,| July, 1916." The attached description located on the back of the page reads: "PHOTOGRAPH No. 17.| STATE DAM NORTH OF PIQUA.| Fifty feet of the levee adjacent to the east end of the state dam north of Piqua has been removed by high waters. The channel capacity at this dam is somewhat contracted and an addition length of 50 feet should be added to said dam. At the present no feed is available at this point, owing to the water in the channel flowing around the end of said dam." This photograph is part of a series taken by the Board of the Ohio Department of Public Works to document the disrepair of the infrastructure of the Ohio and Erie Canal and Miami-Erie Canal systems in 1916, showing the physical condition of each structure. The Ohio Department of Public Works is one of the oldest departments of state government in continuous existence. Among its other duties, this department was charged with maintenance and administration of the Ohio & Erie and Miami-Erie Canals. View on Ohio Memory.
