The Historic Ohio Iron and Steel Bridges Blog shares its desire to “explore the remaining old iron and steel truss bridges in Ohio before they disappear.” Its most recent story, posted on March 4, profiles the oldest iron bridge in Ohio. Constructed in 1859, the bridge is housed in a public park in Massillon, but still requires substantial preservation work to guarantee its survival.

The Seneca County Blog, proudly proclaiming “All that’s hot, and all that’s not, about life in Seneca County, Ohio,” has published a letter from Tiffin Attorney John Bargas to County Commissioners concerning the imminent demolition of the Seneca County Courthouse. It’s a great read.

Waymarking.com has added another Ohio Historical Marker to its collection. In February, the Riverside Park: Old Mill Stream marker in Findlay became the 317th Ohio marker to be included. The site features a description and photos of each marker, as well as GPS coordinates, maps, and related links where available.

MyHometownOhio enjoys readership not only from Ohioans, but from others across the country as well. We recently read this great entry in the blog of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s (New York) Historic Preservation Program which mentions our blog, and then goes on to look at other preservation organizations and efforts that are using videos and other Web 2.0 tools for advocacy and education.
