The Henry Law Farm Historic District, which recently earned Harrison County’s fourth Ohio Historical Marker, showcases how rural life in eastern Ohio developed over multiple generations. The site preserves the legacy of Henry Law, an immigrant from northern Ireland who initially arrived in eastern Ohio during the 1820s before settling permanently, building a residence, and establishing the farm.

Five generations of the Law family continued living on the property through the decades. Today, family members and caretakers are opening the doors to highlight artifacts collected across 180 years.

To preserve the site’s heritage, the farm partnered with a historian to photograph and catalog a digital archive containing more than 10,000 original items. The vast inventory ranges from antique household appliances, including early vacuum cleaners and wringer washing machines, to antique farming equipment, phonographs, and vintage glass bottles.

Among the preserved documents are Law’s original 1837 immigration records. The collection also features an 1859 newspaper outlining Abraham Lincoln’s presidential candidacy and an official invitation sent to a family member for Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s presidential inauguration.

The museum project is organized through the Law Reed Huss Farm Foundation, allowing visitors to view original family photographs, furnishings, and farm machinery while offering a direct look into early Ohio history.

Beer Qoys Oo 180 Sano Jirtay Oo Ohio Ku Taal Oo Loo Beddelay Madxaf

Faraca muhaajir u dhashay dalka Ireland ayaa beer qoys oo 180 sano jirtay oo ku taal bariga gobolka Ohio u beddelaya madxaf dadweynaha u furan, iyada oo ujeedadu tahay in la muujiyo nolosha reer miyiga iyo sida ay u soo kobacday labadii qarni ee la soo dhaafay.

Beertan oo lagu magacaabo Henry Law Farm Historic District ayaa dhowaan la guddoonsiiyay calaamadda taariikhiga ah ee Ohio Historical Marker, taas oo noqonaysa calaamaddii afaraad ee laga taago Harrison County, Ohio. Henry Law ayaa markii ugu horreysay bariga Ohio ka yimid waqooyiga Ireland sannadihii 1820-meeyadii, ka dibna gobolka si rasmi ah u degay, guri ka dhistay, beerteedana bilaabay.

Shan fac oo ka mid ah qoyska Law ayaa beertaas ku noolaa muddo tobanaan sano ah. Bill Huss, oo ah mid ka mid ah faraca Henry Law, ayaa sheegay in hooyadiis, awoowayaashii iyo jiilalkii ka horreeyay ay dhammaantood beertaas ku soo koreen kuna noolaayeen, isaga oo xusuustay xilliyadii uu carruurnimadiisii xagaaga beerta ku soo qaadan jiray.

Si loo ilaaliyo taariikhda qoyska iyo deegaanka, maamulka beerta iyo hay’adda Law Reed Huss Farm Foundation ayaa la shaqeeyay taariikhyahan si loo sawiro loona kaydiyo in ka badan 10,000 oo agab asal ah. Rebecca Carr, oo ah ku-xigeenka agaasimaha hay’adda, ayaa xustay in ururintan ay ku jiraan agabyo kala duwan oo laga soo bilaabo mashiinnadii hore ee dharka lagu dhaqo, qalabka nadaafadda, daasadaha dhalada ah, ilaa mashiinnada qadiimiga ah ee beeraha.

Waxyaabaha ugu muhiimsan ee beerta lagu xafiday waxaa ka mid ah waraaqihii socdaalka asalka ahaa ee Henry Law ee sannadkii 1837. Waxaa sidoo kale qaybta taariikhda ku jira wargeys soo baxay sannadkii 1859 oo ka hadlaya ololihii madaxweynenimo ee Abraham Lincoln, iyo casuumaad rasmi ah oo loo soo diray qof qoyska ka tirsanaa si uu uga qaybgalo munaasabaddii caleema-saarka ee Madaxweyne Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
