Adams County, Ohio is a rural county located in the southern part of the state. It’s known for its rolling hills, forests, and small towns. In the early 2000s, I had the opportunity to visit Adams County and document some of its structures and landscapes using a Fuji point and shoot camera. The resulting photos offer a glimpse into the area’s rich history and natural beauty.
The photos I captured include scenes of the Adams County Courthouse in West Union, which dates back to the early 1800s and still serves as the county seat today. I also captured the Kirker Covered Bridge and the Harshaville Covered Bridge, two historical structures that were built in the mid-1800s and are still standing today. These covered bridges are a testament to the county’s history and rural charm.
In addition to the covered bridges, I also captured photos of a Mail Pouch barn and a country chapel. These structures are quintessentially American and offer a glimpse into a simpler time. They are also reflective of the area’s rural heritage and cultural identity.
One of the challenges I faced during my visit was finding picturesque places to photograph. Many of the historical structures and natural landscapes are on private property, making it difficult to access them. However, I was able to capture several scenes that showcase the beauty of Adams County.
I hope to return to Adams County soon and capture more photos of this charming and historic area. The county’s rich history and natural beauty make it a wonderful destination for anyone interested in exploring the beauty of rural Ohio.
