Description: The pictured weather vane is a replica of the one that was on top of the courthouse that served as Ohio's first capital building in Chillicothe from 1803-1810. Chillicothe was named the capital of the Northwest Territory in 1800 and became the first capital of the State of Ohio in 1803. The presence of influential men such as Thomas Worthington, the "father of Ohio statehood" and Edward Tiffin, Ohio's first governor, near Chillicothe made the city a convenient place to locate the capital. The capital was moved to Zanesville in 1810, but returned to Chillicothe in 1812. In 1816, Columbus became the permanent state capital. The weather vane depicts a simplified version of the eagle from the Great Seal of the United States. It holds an olive branch in one talon and arrows in the other. View on Ohio Memory.
