Ohio History & Heritage
The men and women who have lived and worked in what is now Ohio have helped shape our world. The prehistoric Adena and Hopewell cultures built incredible earthen works that remain some of the great international wonders of the ancient world. From Shawnee Chief Tecumseh who united Native Americans to save their way of life; to Civil War leaders U.S. Grant and William T. Sherman; to our nation’s eight Ohio presidents from William Henry Harrison to William Howard Taft; to inventors Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers; to American entrepreneurs John D. Rockefeller and William Patterson; to American literary giants Paul Laurence Dunbar and Toni Morrison; to legendary performers Bob Hope and Clark Gable; to great explorers who have helped take human experience beyond the earth itself such as Neil Armstrong and John Glenn – Ohioans have affected all aspects of our world.
