A sampling of recent posts from state and national blogs which touch on Ohio preservation and revitalization:

REALNEO features a post titled “Give former Governor Taft credit for signing Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit into Law.” The post highlights provisions of the new legislation as well as solicits thanks for the bill’s sponsors in the General Assembly.

Sadie’s Take on Delaware Ohio looks at a new bed-and-breakfast planned for the community, to be located in an 1890 brick Italianate house on West Winter Street.

A recent posting on Blogging Ohio looks at “Marysville, a historic town of then and now,” which profiles reasons to make the short trip from Columbus to visit the community.

This past June, the Ohio Archeology Blog was launched, which provides “Current archaeological activities, updates and discussion from the staff of the Ohio Historical Society.” Recent stories include a review of the Midwest Archeological Conference, a review of a story that reveals the ancestry of the famed Shawnee Chief Blue Jacket, and an ongoing series profiling field work being conducted with Urbana University.

And – while not a blog – the city of Vermilion now has its own “wiki,” called “My Vermilion.” According to Wikipedia, a “wiki” is a website that allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove, and otherwise edit change available content.” Already on MyVermilion, visitors can access information about the community, including local history and landmarks, as well as pages created by area residents. It is definitely worth a look.
