Ohio Bicentennial Barn Painting
Description: The Bicentennial barn-painting program was an inexpensive, grassroots marketing campaign that painted the official logo of the Ohio Bicentennial on a highly visible historic barn in each of Ohio's 88 counties. Over 2,000 farmers and landowners submitted their barn descriptions to the committee for consideration. Beginning in 1998, artist Scott Hagan spent five years painting the logos, tailored to every barn's unique character. Typically, the barn owners hosted a celebration at the completion of their barn painting. This photograph is an exterior view of the side of Barn #48, the 48th barn that Hagan painted, located at 250 Fair Avenue in Fairview, Ohio. The barn has since been painted over. View on Ohio Memory.
