Created from an original painting by Fred Irvin, this scene portrays a pre-World War I Chillicothe setting. The Milwaukee [Road] Depot (demolished in 1977) serves as a backdrop for period vehicles and a drawn streetcar used to transport patrons to the station.

On this site in 1750 the Ohio Company of Virginia erected a fortified storehouse known as Fort Ohio or the New Store. It served as protection and the center of commerce for this area, called Wills Creek until 1755, when Fort Cumberland, across the Potomac River in Maryland, was completed.
First Church Site in Whitley County.
July 30, 1839, Jacob and Chatherine Van Houten
deeded 1/4 acre land here on the northeast
corner to the Methodist Episcopal Church
for a house of worship named Concord. A
log church served until replaced by a frame
structure about 1851. In 1840 Samuel and
Rebecca Smith, for whom this township was
named, gave land for a cemetery on the south-
east corner and in 1850 the southwest corner
for the United Brethren in Christ Church.
Lloyd Cassel Douglas, minister and author, was
born on this site, August 27, 1877. His father
A. J. Douglas, was pastor of Grace Lutheran
Church at that time.
Lloyd Douglas became a minister and served a
number of Lutheran and Congregational churches.
To reach the unchurched, Dr. Douglas wrote
novels with an ethical, spiritual, or Biblical
history theme. Best known are Magnificent
Obsession, The Robe, and The Big Fisherman.
Douglas died February 18, 1951, in California.
Winds blowing across the usually dry, sandy riverbed of Rio Salado formed dunes along this part of the Rio Grande Valley. The Rio Grande, just southwest here, follows a massive geological trench shaped millions of years ago when huge blocks of land sank as the earth in central New Mexico slowly began pulling apart. The resulting Rio Grande Rift uplifted Los Piños Mountains to the east. Northwest are the Sierra Ladrones. Rocks on their 9,000–foot crests are similar to those buried four miles beneath these dunes.

Dinosaurs lived during most of the Mesozoic Era (235 to 65 million years ago), on every continent on Earth. In Maryland, each of three Mesozoic time periods in which dinosaurs live is represented in its geology -- Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. Therefore, it is not surprising that Maryland has produced more dinosaur bones than almost any other state east of the Mississippi River.
This smokehouse was removed from the site of the "Heine" Weber homestead in the historic Weaverland Valley. The house and barn on the Weber homestead were built in the early 1760s, and this building appears to be of the same period.
This building exemplifies the blacksmith shops that existed in all early communities. These shops were always an important part of local agricultural and community development. This shop is built in the exact dimensions of what is known as the Cooper's Blacksmith shop in the Groffdale Valley. While that building is no longer being used as a blacksmith shop, it remains in the community and is the oldest known blacksmith shop building (deeded in 1785) in the Groffdale and Weaverland Valleys.
These millstones stand in silent testimony to the importance of milling in Lancaster County. The first mill was built only a few years after the Mennonites arrived in 1710. Vital to agriculture, the mills increased in number to over 200 by 1839. Most were gristmills, where grain was processed; yet there were also mills where hemp was crushed for rope or tannic acid was obtained from bark. Stones were used to grind cocoa for chocolate, pigments for paint, and apples for cider.
