Description: Street scene in Chillicothe depicting decorations for the celebration of the Ohio centennial, 1903. In 1802, as Ohio moved toward statehood, Chillicothe hosted the Ohio Constitutional Convention. When Ohio became a state in 1803, Chillicothe was named its capital, in part due to its central location as well as the prominent political figures, like Edward Tiffin and Thomas Worthington, who resided there. The city served as Ohio's capital until 1810, when state government moved to Zanesville. The capital returned to Chillicothe two years later, only to move to Columbus, 45 miles to the north, in 1816.

Description: Dated 1920, this photograph shows Warren G. Harding standing on the front porch of his home in Marion, Ohio, with three men. This photograph is part of a photograph album in the Warren G. Harding Photograph Collection (P146). Warren G. Harding, the 29th President of the United States (1921-1923), was born in Blooming Grove, Ohio, in 1865. At age 14, Harding attended Ohio Central College in Iberia, Ohio, where he edited the campus newspaper and became an accomplished public speaker. He married Florence Kling de Wolfe in 1891, and embarked on his political career in 1900 by winning a seat in the Ohio legislature. After serving two terms as an Ohio Senator, Harding served as Lieutenant Governor in 1904 for two years before returning to the newspaper business. Although he lost the 1910 gubernatorial race, Harding was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1914. Political insider Harry Daugherty promoted Harding for the Republican presidential nomination in 1920. His front porch campaign was centered on speeches given from his home in Marion, Ohio, pledging to return the country to “normalcy” in this post World War I era. Harding easily won the election, gaining 61 percent of the popular vote. On August 2, 1923, Harding unexpectedly died from a massive heart attack while touring the western United States, and is entombed in the Marion Cemetery. View on Ohio Memory.
