Wilmington, OH, September 6,2008. Warren County, near Cincinnati in SW Ohio, became the 80th Ohio County visited by Circuit Riders For Stratton.
Today's talks with local voters in South Lebanon, OH, capped off an historic 300 mile ride that included first time visits to Adams, Brown, Highland and Clermont Counties, plus a stop at the Highland County Fair in Hillsboro.
Because we are commemorating the 205th anniversary of the Ohio Supreme Court, we always ride with a sense of history. This particular ride was very historic because part of it followed the western path of the first Ohio judicial circuit riders over two centuries ago:
Ride Safe . . . Ride on to reelect Ohio Supreme Court Justice Evelyn L. Stratton!
80 counties . . . 9,937 miles . . .
Today's talks with local voters in South Lebanon, OH, capped off an historic 300 mile ride that included first time visits to Adams, Brown, Highland and Clermont Counties, plus a stop at the Highland County Fair in Hillsboro.
Because we are commemorating the 205th anniversary of the Ohio Supreme Court, we always ride with a sense of history. This particular ride was very historic because part of it followed the western path of the first Ohio judicial circuit riders over two centuries ago:
- We rode our big Harley out of Chillicothe, Ohio's first state capital, in a morning fog and headed toward Cincinnati.
- By 1800 Cincinnati had become a sizable frontier town with over 5,000 male inhabitants and was certainly a destination for the first judicial circuit riders.
- That number of male citizens had, by law (the Northwest Ordinance), allowed Ohio to petition and obtain statehood in 1803.
- Our feeling of history was confirmed when we reached The Bradford Tavern at West Union in Adams County.
- Built ca 1804 on the Maysville to Zainsville Stage Couch Route, the Bradford Tavern was certainly a must stop for all travelers in this part of the state.
- Today, the building is Ohio's longest standing inn still in use and is called the Olde Wayside Inn.
Ride Safe . . . Ride on to reelect Ohio Supreme Court Justice Evelyn L. Stratton!
