Description: Caption reads: "Scene at Schoenbrunn. Dist 5, Tuscarawas Co., New Philadelphia, O." In 1772, David Zeisberger, a missionary of the Moravian Church, established the village of Schoenbrunn on the Tuscarawas River, near present-day New Philadelphia. The word Schoenbrunn means "beautiful spring" in German. The purpose of this community was to provide Moravian missionaries a place to teach Christianity to Native Americans residing in Ohio. At its greatest size, Schoenbrunn had a population of four hundred Christian natives, mostly Delaware Indians, and more than sixty buildings, including the first school and Christian church built in Ohio. During the American Revolution, facing harassment from both the English and the Americans , Zeisberger and his followers abandoned Schoenbrunn in early 1778. Schoenbrunn has since been rebuilt and is administered as an historic site by the Ohio Historical Society. View on Ohio Memory.

They held a final service in the church, after which they tore down their house of worship to prevent its desecration. Schoenbrunn has since been rebuilt and is administered as an historic site by the Ohio Historical Society. Today the reconstructed village includes seventeen log buildings, gardens, the original mission cemetery, and a museum and visitor center. The site also includes natural areas and picnic facilities.

Description: St. Michael the Archangel Church, also known as St. Michael church was a Roman Catholic church located at 2110 St. Michael Street in the Price Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. The cornerstone of the building was laid on August 1, 1847 and the church was dedicated a year later. It is a large red brick structure that once had a large central clock tower flanked by two minarets topped by knobs and weathervanes. A statue of St. Michael with a sword in his hand once stood in a niche in the building about half way to the top. These minarets, clock tower and the angel have since been removed from the building which makes the building less impressive than it once was. The church closed on April 5, 1998 and now the St. Michael's center is used as a thrift store and food pantry. View on Ohio Memory.
