Old Meigs County Court House in Chester Ohio

Here are a few photos from another unplanned side trip recently.  We found a marker noting Meig County's first court house.  It was built in 1823, and is one of three extant Federal style courthouse structures in Ohio.

It seems that a community museum is there now, and the building, along with an old schoolhouse, are the source of some pride in the area.


The marker also notes that John Hunt Morgan was through this area during the Civil War!
