Thanking Krista Horricks of the Ohio History Connection for alerting me to the Scenic Ohio Award program.
Additionally, thanking Mr. Gary Meisner for so kindly sharing details about the "Scenic Ohio" program, and the important work this organization does to bring a greater awareness to the scenic beauty found at Ohio's cemeteries. It is easy to see that each one is unique and should be recognized for its important role preserving the stories that shape Ohio's history.
