Adena Mansion & Gardens
The 1807 stone mansion of Thomas Worthington, sixth Governor of Ohio, whose garden looks out toward Mount Logan, the peak on the state seal.
This is the estate of Thomas Worthington, the 'Father of Ohio Statehood'. The main house was designed by Benjamin Latrobe, the architect who also designed the U.S. Capitol, and it is furnished as it would have looked in the early 19th century. The visitor center covers the history of Ohio's statehood, and the gardens and lookout face Mount Logan. It is said that the 'sunrise beyond the mountains' on the state seal was seen from here. Open Wednesday to Sunday from about April to October, with an admission fee of about US$12.
