Sites and Scenes Around Ohio Collection
Description: Two photographs of Jackson Lake near Oak Hill, Ohio were taken in the 1960s. In the nineteenth century, much of the area around Jackson Lake was logged to fuel the iron furnaces in southeastern Ohio. In 1938, however, the state of Ohio took control of Jackson Lake and opened camping and swimming areas. Jackson Lake State Park was officially designated a state park in 1979. The photographs measure 2.75" x 2.75" (6.99 x 6.99 cm). View on Ohio Memory.
