The history of Adams County is rich, beginning with its establishment in 1797 as Ohio's third-oldest county. Key features include the Ohio River's role in commerce and the preservation of prehistoric earthworks like the Great Serpent Mound. The area was significant in the abolitionist movement, serving as a critical point on the Underground Railroad. During the Civil War, it was impacted by Confederate raids. Vintage views in this book, sourced from local historical societies and private collections, illustrate the county's storied past.
