"Chillicothe, Ohio: A Historic Crossroads of Trade and Transportation Step back in time as we explore the rich history of Chillicothe, Ohio. This historic city has been a vital hub for commerce and transportation since the early days of the United States. From the steamboats that once docked at its shores on the Scioto River, to the freight trains that passed through on their way west, Chillicothe was a bustling center of activity. In the early 1900s, automobiles began to replace steam-powered transportation, and Chillicothe became a key stop on the auto transport routes. But the city's history goes back even further than that. In the War of 1812, men from Chillicothe answered the call to defend their new country, as evidenced by this military invitation broadside. And long before European settlers arrived, the Hopewell culture thrived in the area, as shown in this copper falcon effigy excavated from a Native American burial mound. Join us as we delve deeper into the history of Chillicothe, Ohio, a place where the past and present come together in a fascinating blend of American history."
