Description: Two photographs show Woodsfield, Ohio around 1914. In 1814 the Monroe County commissioners selected the town as the county seat. By 1820 it contained eighteen houses. Woodsfield was incorporated in 1835, and in 1843 an act of the General Assembly extended the limits of the town 120 feet in every direction. Located off major transportation routes, the town grew slowly until 1879, when the narrow-gauge Bellaire and Southwestern Railroad was completed to Woodsfield. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph of a farm in Ohio's Appalachian foothills, near Marietta. Much of the land between Marietta and Woodsfield is occupied by Wayne National Forest. Discussion of a national forest in southeastern Ohio began in 1919; the first tracts of land were purchased in 1935. The park was operated as Wayne-Hoosier National Forest until 1951, when Ohio's and Indiana's forests were administratively separated. The Wayne currently preserves the natural and archaeological heritage of southeastern Ohio, spanning 12 counties and more than 240,000 acres. Reverse reads, in part: "Class--Agriculture. Ident.--Farm scene. Location--On the road between Marietta and Woodsfield. Caption--Hillside and bottomland." View on Ohio Memory.
