Ohio Bicentennial Barns #1

T-rcbo commemorate Ohio's 200th year of statehood, they commissioned an Ohio Bientennial Barn project. For this project, a barn in each of Ohio's 88 counties as selected to have the bicentennial logo painted on it. Scott Hagan was the official logo painter, and painted the logo in every county, including this barn in Brown County.

The original official website to Chronicle this project, Ohio200.com is no longer active. However, a great website OhioBarns.com details each of the barns that was painted as part of the celebration. With this program, and more Mail Pouch Tobacco barns located there than any other state, Ohio likely has more painted ad barns than any other state.

This barn is located in southeast of the town of Ripley, OH along the Ohio River Scenic Byway (which is also the multiplex of U.S. 52, U.S. 62 and U.S. 68).
