Description: The Portage County courthouse was completed in 1960 by architect C.G. Kistler, and the building is Modernist. Its location in the public square and engraved title are the only things that set it apart as the county courthouse rather than a large office building. This image shows the front facade of the building. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph of a portrait of Samuel Huntington (1765-1817) who was the third governor of Ohio, serving from 1808-1810. Huntington's term as governor was not without controversy. Although he himself was not targeted, the state legislature tried to impeach two other judges for decisions similar to the Rutherford v. M'Fadden case. These impeachment proceedings were ultimately unsuccessful. The two judges, Calvin Pease and George Tod, maintained their positions by a single vote each. The state capital was moved to Zanesville for a time, and there was continued debate over its permanent location. In addition, there was considerable unease about potential military conflict with Great Britain, which ultimately did occur with the War of 1812. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Carte de visite of General Winfield Scott Hancock, who served in the Union Army during the Civil War. A native of Montgomery Square, Pennsylvania, Hancock was considered one of the best military commanders in the Union (nicknamed "Superb Hancock"), though he never rose above corps command. He is best known for his fighting at Gettysburg and Spotsylvania Court House, but also fought at Williamsburg, where he earned his nickname, Fredericksburg, the Wilderness, Chancellorsville, and Petersburg. Due to his wounds, and the self-criticism resulting from his only major defeat, at Petersburg, Hancock resigned from command, and took over in the now-quiet Shenandoah Valley. View on Ohio Memory.
