Ohio has been celebrating its Bicentennial all year. Many barns were painted with the Bicentennial logo. (See photographs below.) A Wagon Train left Martin's Ferry, Ohio, on June 20, and will cross Ohio on the National Trail. It arrived in Reynoldsburg, an adjoining city to Columbus, Ohio's capital and home of the FHWA Ohio Division, on July 4th at the Reynoldsburg Civic Park where it camped the night. After arriving and spending the night at the Ohio School for the Blind, it continued on to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) where it camped at the ODOT complex. The wagon train will continue to the end of the trail at the Indiana State line where Ohio Governor Bob Taft is expected to greet the "pioneers," and maybe even accompany them back to New Paris for an end of the trail celebration. The wagon train travels from 7 to 14 miles each day depending upon weather and other circumstances. Transportation in America has come a long way!
