Description: This photographic postcard features a color image of Ulysses Grant's birthplace, located in Point Pleasant, Ohio. The wood cabin, painted white, has two windows on either side of the front door. A tall brick chimney, also white, stands on the cabin's right side. A white fence extends along the front of the cabin, and a stone walkway leads to the front steps. A sign identifying the site is located on the lawn. The cabin was removed from its foundation in Point Pleasant in 1888 and placed aboard a boat for exhibition in Cincinnati. Afterwards it was moved to Goodale Park (Columbus, Ohio) as part of the Northwest Territory centennial. During the 1890s the cabin was returned to the fairgrounds in Columbus. It remained there until 1936, when the Ohio Historical Society, under a legislative order, returned it to its original site in Point Pleasant, Ohio. The dismantling of the badly deteriorated cabin for relocation occurred in February 1936 at the Columbus Fairgrounds. The cabin was restored with period furniture and opened to public tours. The Grant Birthplace memorial is located at 1551 State Rt 232, in Point Pleasant (Clermont County), just off of U.S. Route 52, about five miles east of New Richmond. Ulysses Simpson Grant was an American military leader and the eighteenth president of the United States. He served in the Mexican War but was never happy with military life and resigned his commission in 1854. At the outbreak of the Civil War he organized a company in Galena and later accepted command of the 21st Illinois Regiment. In August 1861, President Abraham Lincoln made Grant brigadier general of volunteers. In 1864 Grant became lieutenant general commanding all the armies of the U.S. He served as U.S. president from 1869-1877. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: A postcard depicting Clark Gable's birthplace in Cadiz, Ohio. An image of Gable is included in the bottom left corner. Cadiz was established in 1803 and is the County Seat of Harrison Country, Ohio. As of 2010, the village was home to 3,353 people and is primarily focused on the shale industry. Clark Gable was born in 1901 in Cadiz, Ohio. His mother died shortly after his birth, so gable lived with his grandparents until his father remarried in 1907. His step mother, Jennie Dunlap, encouraged him to read and learn music. When his father, William, bought a farm, he wanted Gable to help him on the farm, but Jennie convinced him not to. Instead, Gable worked in theater companies. Gable moved to Portland, Oregon, where he met Josephine Dillon, an acting teacher. She took an interest in Gable, gave him acting lessons and fixed his hair and teeth. They moved to Hollywood together and were married in 1924. Gable struggled to find acting roles because of his large ears. His break came from his supporting role in The Painted Desert (1931), which impressed Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) executives into signing Gable. Over the next several years Gable became a Hollywood leading man. He appeared in movies such as Red Dust (1932), Dancing Lady (1933), It Happened One Night (1934), and many others. In 1939, he appeared in what was perhaps his most famous role as Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind. Gable married his third wife, Carole Lombard, in 1939, but the actress was killed in a plane crash in 1942. After her death, Gable left Holylwood to join the Army Air Corps, where he served as a tail gunner in World War II. He received the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal. After the war, he returned to acting. Some of his well known films include The Hucksters (1947), Mogambo (1953), and The Misfits(1961), in which Marilyn Monroe costarred. Gable died from a heart attack on November 16, 1960. By his death Gable had starred in sixty-five films. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: The postcard features a picture of a garden labeled "HARTMAN'S HISTORIC GARDEN / SPRINGFIELD, OHIO". The garden features many small buildings of a variety of styles, like a small church, a castle, and a classical temple. The garden was created by H.G. Hartman in 1932 when he became unemployed and had extra time on his hands. He started by building a fish pond and eventually added famous landmarks in miniature religious scenes and pop culture figures. All of the figures were made from cement and decorated with small stones.After Hartman's death in 1944, H.G.'s youngest son, Ben Hartman, took over the maintenance of the garden. However Ben passed away in 2007, and the property was put up for sale in 2008. The Kohler Foundation began restoring the site in 2009. View on Ohio Memory.
