Description: The first photograph shows workers in Marlboro, Ohio making cheese. The aging cheese wheels are being stored in a cool cellar in the second photograph. Holmes, Tuscarawas, and Stark counties became known for their Swiss and Baby Swiss cheeses, many made by local Amish and Swiss immigrants. By the end of the twentieth century, Ohio was the second largest cheese-manufacturing state, trailing only Wisconsin. The photographs measure 8" x 10" (20.32 x 25.4 cm). View on Ohio Memory.
