  2. This large building has dominated the first block of South Broadway in New Philadelphia, Ohio since its construction and, when it was built, was considered state-of-the-art. I thought I would explore its construction and how it became the focal point of an early 20th century Ohio Supreme Court case.

  3. I always enjoy poking around the OGS archives and library work areas to see what's being processed. This is an image from a collection currently being evaluated. It includes a number of early 20th century images of Plymouth, Ohio. #Archives #ArchiveProjects #Photography #HistoricPhotography #OldPhotographs #PhotographsOfOhio #OhioHistory #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

  4. The OGS Archivist showed me these great, early 20th century, plot maps of Akron, Ohio that are in the OGS Archives. Amazing details on every map! #AkronOhio #Map #Maps #20thCentury #1900s #genealogy #history #OhioHistory @histodons

  5. I recently wondered if there were any people from the Tuscarawas County, Ohio area that decided to try and find riches in the gold rush(es) of the American West. In doing so, I stumbled upon the sad story of William Watson. #California #GoldRush #LocalHistory #OhioHistory #19thCentury #1800s #CaliforniaGoldRush #MiningHistory @histodons

  8. Recently I posted on my blog about a Bureau of Mines Mine Rescue Car that visited the mining town of Roswell, Ohio in 1923. That post, and a comment from someone who saw it, led me to examine a tragic incident from 1927 that occurred at a coal mine outside of Mineral City, Ohio in Tuscarawas County.

She was a Suffrage leader, public health and education advocate, a supporter of immigrant rights, a mother, a wife, a leader in her church, and an all around badass. #suffragist #suffrage #womenshistory #ohiohistory #activism #1900s @histodons
