Description: The picture is a drawing of a wood fort. The fort is a square and in each corner is a cannon tower. Inside the fort, there are several men running with weapons and six buildings. A flagpole is at the center of the fort, which is situated at the top of a hill. Named in honor of Henry Laurens, then president of the Continental Congress, Fort Laurens was built in 1778 in an ill-fated campaign to attack the British at Detroit. Supplying this wilderness outpost was its downfall, as its starving garrison survived on boiled moccasins and withstood a month-long siege by British-led Indians. The fort was abandoned in 1779.

Description: The Highland County Courthouse is said to be the oldest Ohio structure that has been continually used as a courthouse. Completed in 1835 by architect Pleasant Arthur, the building combines Federal and Greek Revival architectural elements with its Federal fanlight and Greek entablature and columns. The blending of architectural styles is common in Ohio county courthouses as a result of the self education of local contractors in stylish European designs. This is the rear facade of the building.
