Description: This image shows the front and side facades of the Sandusky County Courthouse. Additions were made during the 1930s using Works Progress Administration funds; they were designed to be compatible with the architectural style of the original courthouse. The original 1844 courthouse is now the north wing of the building. The cupola is octagonal and has a small circular copper dome on top, and it was moved to the central portion of the building after the additions were made. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph taken during the excavation of the Hopewell Mound Group in Ross County, Ohio, ca. 1922-1925. The caption on the back reads "Cut on N. side looking W., Hopewell Mound No. 7, Ross Co., O." The Hopewell Mound Group, the type site for the Hopewell Culture, is located along the North Fork of Paint Creek in Union Township, Ross County, Ohio. When first surveyed in the mid-1800s the mound and earthwork complex, once referred to as the Clark Works, contained at least 38 mounds of various sizes within a 111-acre, somewhat “D”-shaped walled enclosure. An attached segmented square enclosed an additional 18 acres. The most notable mound in the group is referred to as Mound 25, a three-part conjoined mound that once measured 35 feet high by 500 feet long and 180 feet wide at the base. It was this mound more than any other that was the source of many of the iconic artifacts that defined the Hopewell Culture (100 BC-AD 400). The Hopewell Mound Group was extensively investigated in the early 1890s by Warren Moorehead to collect material for the 1892 World’s Columbian Exposition. This material is now housed in the Chicago Field Museum. In the 1920s Henry Shetrone of the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society (now the Ohio History Connection) also did extensive field work there, assembling an impressive collection of materials for the museum. Today the Hopewell Mound Group and several other related Ross County earthwork complexes are overseen by the National Park Service as the Hopewell Culture National Historic Park. The Hopewell Mound Group is one of seven Ohio Hopewell Ceremonial Earthwork sites presently under consideration by the United States Department of the Interior for nomination as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
