    Langley's Inn photograph  Save
    Description: Caption reads: "Langley's Inn, built as an Indian trading post in 1828. Still stands in an excellent state of preservation on River Road at E. Wayne St. in Maumee, Ohio." The oldest business building in Lucas County, Ohio, the Commercial Building at 301 River Road has been known by different names over the years, including the Neeley House, the Eagle, the Schieley House, the Bismark, the Seurin Hotel, the Langley Inn, the Governor’s Inn, J. Brown’s River Inn, and the Old Plantation Inn. In 1836, Levi Beebe built the Commercial Building. Initially, several different businesses occupied the structure, including various law firms, several stores, and even the local post office. The building also housed an inn at this time. Several prominent people purportedly stayed at the inn, including future presidents Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Rutherford B. Hayes. Businesses in the Commercial Building flourished during the 1830s and 1840s. The structure was located on the stagecoach route between Detroit, Michigan and Fort Wayne, Indiana. Also, Maumee is located on the Maumee River, and river traffic brought business and guests to the area. Maumee also was the original county seat of Lucas County, bringing people to the community who were engaged in legal matters or in politics. In 1837, the Lucas County Whig Party actually formed in the Commercial Building. In 1852, the Lucas County seat moved to Toledo. The Maumee economy weakened at this time, but the Commercial Building continued to house various businesses. Purportedly, the structure served as a stop on the Underground Railroad in the years before the American Civil War. During the twentieth century, the building principally functioned as an inn and restaurant. As of this writing, the Commercial Building houses Giannos Restaurant. The Commercial Building is on the National Register of Historic Places. View on Ohio Memory.

    Furnace at Vesuvius recreation area  Save
    Description: Original description reads: "Close-up view of Vesuvius Furnace Stack. This was one of the first iron blast furnaces in the famous Hanging Rock Iron District in southern Ohio. Built in 1833, used charcoal and air blast similar to other furnaces (this known as 'cold blast'). In 1836 the hot blast process was developed at this furnace and being more efficient, it rapidly spread to the other furnaces in this area. In the late 90's competition with the norther Michigan and Minnesota mines caused the return to the 'cold blast' method. The final blast at this furnace was in 1906. This furnace is the source of the name for the Vesuvius Recreation Area." The Vesuvius Recreation Area is located in Wayne National Forest. Lake Vesuvius is a man-made result of dam construction that began in 1937 and was completed by 1941. View on Ohio Memory.

    William Henry Harrison candidacy broadside  Save
    Description: This broadside, titled "Proposals for the Log Cabin," promotes the candidacy of William Henry Harrison, who went on to defeat President Martin Van Buren in the U.S. presidential election of 1840. The broadside bears the signatures of Harrison supporters who are advertising the availability of "13 numbers of a paper" titled "Log Cabin." The document is dated February 29, 1840. During the campaign, Harrison's supporters portrayed him as a common man who was born in a log cabin and liked to drink hard cider. It was not the first or last time that exaggerated and inaccurate claims have been made about a candidate by his friends. A rugged log cabin became the campaign's iconic symbol. William Henry Harrison (1773-1841) was an American political and military leader and the ninth President of the United States. Born in Charles County, Virginia, he graduated college and then studied medicine at his father’s insistence. After his father’s death in 1791, he joined the U.S. Army and served in the military until 1798. In the Northwest Territory he assisted General Anthony Wayne as an aide-de-camp. He participated in the Battle of Fallen Timbers and was present at the negotiating and signing of the Treaty of Greeneville. After leaving military service, Harrison was Secretary of the Northwest Territory and later represented the Northwest Territory in the U.S. Congress. He served as governor of Indiana Territory (modern-day Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan) from 1800 to 1813. While he was governor, Harrison also was the Superintendent for Indian Affairs in the American Northwest. He convinced many Native Americans to relinquish millions of acres of land in what is now the Midwestern U.S. Because the United States had reserved this land to the Native Americans in the Treaty of Greeneville, some Native Americans refused to forsake their claims. Chief among these people were the Shawnee, led by Tecumseh and the Prophet, Tecumseh's brother. These two men worked to form a confederation of all Native American tribes west of the Appalachian Mountains. Harrison marched against Tecumseh in late 1811. While Tecumseh was away seeking additional followers, Harrison attacked the Shawnees' major village, Prophetstown. On November 7, 1811, at the Battle of Tippecanoe, the U.S. army destroyed the village and hindered the success of the native alliance. During the War of 1812, Harrison rose to the rank of brigadier-general and commanded the Army of the Northwest. In October 1813 the Army of the Northwest fought a joint British and Native American force led by General Henry Proctor and Tecumseh in the Battle of the Thames. The British ran from the battlefield, leaving the Native Americans to fight on alone. The Americans defeated the Native Americans, killing Tecumseh. Following the War of 1812, Harrison returned to politics. He made his home at North Bend, just west of Cincinnati, Ohio. He represented Ohio in the U.S. Congress for two terms and also was U.S. ambassador to Colombia. In 1836 he ran as a Whig Party candidate for the presidency of the United States but lost to Martin Van Buren. With John Tyler as his running mate during the 1840 presidential campaign, Harrison emphasized his military record against Tecumseh and the British in the War of 1812. His famous campaign slogan was "Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too." The American voters elected Harrison with the wide margin of victory of 234 electoral-college votes for Harrison to Van Buren's sixty. The sixty-eight-year-old Harrison took office in 1841. He served the shortest time in office of any man elected to the presidency. He died of pneumonia on April 4, 1841, one month after taking office. View on Ohio Memory.
