The online home of TurnHere is a wonderful place to spend some time… the company specializes in producing Internet-accessible short films, by independent filmmakers, that showcase cities and neighborhoods across the world – and right here in Ohio. And, not surprisingly, in an effort to convey a sense of place, filmmakers routinely turn to historic resources and the authentic experiences those resources provide. Narration comes from locals, who provide audio flavor to the wonderful visual images.

Over 40 Buckeye cities have been filmed, many done in conjunction with a large realty company in Ohio. Many of these videos are also available on YouTube and, recently, have become available on Google Earth, the virtual world atlas.

Here are a sampling of links to TurnHere videos about historic Ohio towns and neighborhoods (not an exhaustive list, by any means).
