Log
Cabins & Castles
From the late 18th century, thousands of settlers
from Virginia crossed the mountains to settle in Ohio. Small
farmers raised corn, tobacco, hogs, and cattle, and built
simple houses or log cabins. Large landowners from plantation
society became Ohio's new aristocracy, living in "castles"
on estates. In addition, blacks became fugitives on the Underground
Railroad, and freed slaves.

Saltboxes
& Schools
New Englanders who settled in Ohio had their own traditions
of land use and architecture. Hubert Wilhelm's journey
begins at Marietta, their first settlement. Wilhelm
explores their rich legacy in the landscape-from simple rural
saltbox houses to fine Federal town houses-and their contributions
to religion and education. Produced for the Bicentennial
of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787.
