The World's Most Beautiful Places
The Great American Tower stands above the stadium of the Cincinnati Reds, in Ohio. The skyscraper was completed in 2011 at a cost of $322 million. It contains more than 800,000 square feet of office space. It is the tallest building in Cincinnati (ending the 81 year rein of the Carew Tower), at 41 stories and 665 feet tall. It is the third tallest in Ohio.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway operated from 1868–1987, and serviced Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia. It included stops in Chicago, Cincinnati and Columbus, and Richmond, Va. It was also known as the C&O Railroad. Amtrak currently follows the path it established through the New River Gorge, in West Virginia.
The Adena culture was a prehistoric Native American culture that existed from 500 BC to 100 AD. They resided in what is now the Eastern United States, focused primarily in Ohio, and parts of West Virginia and Kentucky, during a period known in archaeology as the Early Woodland. They had a unique burial complex and ceremonial tradition, the largest visible sign of which are large earthen mounds spread across the landscape. The Miamsburg mound at 65 feet, is the largest intact mound in Ohio.
They along with the Fort Ancient and Hopewell cultures have come to be known as the Mound Builders, for their large earthworks.
