Download or read book Licking County written by Connie L. Rutter and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Licking County is located at the geographic center of Ohio. The history of the county began over 2,000 years ago when an ancient people known as the Hopewells occupied the area. While they disappeared for no apparent reason, the large earthen mounds left behind give modern man clues to their type of culture. Licking County is home to a countless number of these mounds with the Great Circle Earthworks being the largest. In 1808, Licking County was established with Newark as its county seat. The construction of the Ohio Canal began in 1825 and finished in 1833. The canal brought a new era to Licking County, and Newark became a beehive of activity. The railroads came and the canal gradually began to lose its value. In 1908, the great Ohio Canal was filled in. For the past 200 years, many people have had a connection to Licking County, and their names continue to keep the history of the county alive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many things go bump in the night in Licking County, and not all of them are rowdy undergraduates. Some are the restless spirits of the dead. With specters plaguing the chapel, the library, and a dorm room, Granville's Denison University is one of the most haunted campuses in the country. Nearby at the historic Buxton Inn, previous owners look after the property in death as they did in life. The grave of a Johnstown witch is said to emit an eerie green mist every Halloween night. A young boy's ghost floats on the water of Hell Lake, and a mysterious woman in white haunts the bridge on Swamp Road. Author and paranormal investigator with the Tri-C Ghost Hunters Nova Stiles leads a bone-chilling tour through the haunted history of Licking County.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did northern communities cope when their men and boys went off to the Civil War? When we think of the American Civil War, we usually recall battlefields, heroes, monuments, books and movies. It is difficult to relate such a horrendous war with the ordinary folks who remained at home and tried to maintain some semblance of normal life while waiting for their young men to return. Through these short accounts we get a glimpse of the political and emotional turmoil back home while the boys of Licking County were away fighting. Although not a thorough treatise of Licking County in the war, the stories represent a fair cross-section of the life and times of this small country population, which had only been an Ohio county for 53 years. Its soldiers were sons and grandsons of pioneers from New England and the southern states, so their politics spanned the gamut from abolition to Copperhead Democrats to outright racism. They left a legacy of both glory and heartache for their families and communities, just as in thousands of other small towns across the nation.

Built with wooden nails and mortise-and-tenon joints and assembled with beams hand-hewn from nearby trees, some of these magnificent structures have witnessed three centuries. Many display the unique carpentry of masterful barn builders, including "mystery" wooden spikes and tongue-and-groove two-inch flooring. Sadly, a number of these barns, neglected for years, risk crumbling any day. Join artist and author Robert Kroeger on a trip to each of Ohio's eighty-eight counties to view some of the state's oldest and most historic barns before they're gone.
