PhotoHunt # 77 Original

These arrowheads are all original to Ohio and were found within a ten mile radius of my home in Swanton Ohio by me. They represent a diverse history of Northwest Ohio spanning 9,500-500 years of North American history and are my PhotoHunt entry "Original".

Miami-Erie Canal

The Miami-Erie Canal played an important role in the
development of Ohio. It allowed huge amounts of trade to flow through Ohio and allowed Ohio farmers to ship vast amounts of crops.

The building of the canal was an engineering challenge in 1825 and pictured below is Lock 13 of 103 Locks used to connect Cincinnati to Lake Erie via Toledo. Today the canal is being restored in several places by local governments and I will have additionl pictures and information in the future.
