Established in 1797, Adams County is the third-oldest county in Ohio, with a rich history tied to the Ohio River and the prehistoric earthworks like the Great Serpent Mound. The county played a significant role in the abolitionist movement, featuring multiple stations on the Underground Railroad. During the Civil War, it faced raids from Confederate General John H. Morgan. This book showcases vintage views from various historical societies and private collections, illustrating the county's unique heritage and pivotal moments in its history.
