Description: This image shows the front entrance of the Somerset Government Building in Perry County. This is an example of a first generation courthouse. It was used as a courthouse until 1851 when the county seat was officially moved to New Lexington, after several votes and Ohio Supreme Court rulings. It represents both Federal and Italianate architectural styles. There is an inscription above the entrance that reads "Let Justice be done if the heavens fall" that was originally supposed to read "Let Justice be done though the heavens fall." It is said that the stone masons ran out of room when engraving and had to shorten the inscription. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: 1955 calendar advertising and themed around Ohio author and conservation advocate Louis Bromfield's famed Malabar Farm in Lucas, Ohio. The full-color twelve-month calendar includes color photographs by Joe Munroe and short caption essays by Louis Bromfield. Calendar verso pages feature longer essays on the history and rehabilitation of Malabar and vignettes of farm life also written by Bromfield. The Friends of the Land Collection (1930-1960) contains the papers of the Friends of the Land (1940-1959), a prominent national soil conservation education organization headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. FOTL produced an international literary arts quarterly, THE LAND (edited by New Deal agriculture writer Russell Lord) in addition to several members' only publications (LAND LETTER) and informational pamphlets. They also hosted annual conferences; ran conservation tours, teacher training labs, and workshops; and operated as a national clearinghouse for conservation information. Ohio farmer and novelist Louis Bromfield was active in the organization. Much of the collection reflects the career and interests of FOTL Executive Secretary Ollie Fink, who was a prominent conservation education pioneer in Ohio. View on Ohio Memory.
