Jenna G. writes: Greetings from Jackson Center! Ohio's landscape is diverse; ranging from lakes and rivers to rolling hills, flat farmland to mountains. Autumn is beautiful ( and my favorite season). Columbus our capitol is a little over an hours drive and has many fun attractions. I live in a rural area and love the quiet but am about a 2 hour drive from 5 other major cities. ☺ Best Wishes ღ Jenna G.

Postcard facts: There have been eight Presidents from Ohio, earning it the nickname, "The Mother of Presidents"

We love animal postcards and Hope K. has sent us a fantastic animal postcard, thank you! The card reads: St. Marys is mostly known for the Erie Canal & Grand Lake St. Marys. The lake is the largest body of water in the world built without the use of machinery (Wow what a great fact!) It took 1700 men 8 years to build it with shovels and axes. (1837-1845) They worked sunrise to sunset for 30 cents a day.It was built to feed into the Erie Canal. Happy Postcrossing! - Hope K.
