These mysterious rock carvings in Ohio could be a thousand years old

Ohio's history stretches back centuries, and some of it is carved into the sandstone of southern Ohio. But exactly how old those carvings are remains a mystery to this day. The Leo Petroglyphs are a series of ancient rock carvings in southern Ohio that were likely created by people of the Fort Ancient culture, according to the Ohio History Connection . Their exact age, however, is unknown. Here's what to know about the centuries-old carvings and what historians know about their origins. Language: This food is the word Ohioans struggle to pronounce most The exact age of Ohio's Leo Petroglyphs remains a mystery The exact age of the petroglyphs isn't known. Based on the weathering of the sandstone, the Ohio History Connection says that the carvings are probably no more than 1,000 years old and were likely created by people of the Fort Ancient culture. The site contains 37 petroglyphs, or figures carved into a sandstone outcrop, depicting humans, birds, human and animal footprints, a fish, a snake and other figures. A shelter house covers the sandstone slab containing the carvings, protecting the rock art from the elements. Where are the Leo Petroglyphs in Ohio? Leo Petroglyphs & Nature Preserve

Prosecutor claims public records battle has compelled her to hire another staffer

In a motion seeking to dismiss a citizen’s request for a court order in a legal dispute over public records, the Hocking County Prosecutor’s office claims that plaintiff Melanie Ogle is pursuing her litigation “for the sole purpose of harassing the office of the Hocking County Prosecuting Attorney and wasting taxpayer money.” The motion complains that Ogle “continues to bombard the Hocking County Prosecuting Attorney’s office with frivolous and baseless public records requests and litigation to the point where the prosecutor has been forced to hire an additional assistant prosecutor.” Ogle, who lives in Rockbridge, submitted a public records request to the prosecutor’s office in June 2025, seeking records related to past criminal cases involving her and her husband. She found the office’s response unsatisfactory, and filed a complaint with the Ohio Court of Claims. In May of this year that court ruled that Ogle’s records request was “overly broad and unenforceable.” She then appealed that ruling to Ohio’s Fourth District Court of Appeals, and is also seeking a writ of mandamus to compel Prosecutor Jennifer Graham to produce the records Ogle has asked for. As it has done in other court filings, however, the prosecutor’s office continues to insist

Between Columbus And Athens Is A Scenic Stop With Ohio's Largest Natural Rock Bridge, Camping, And Trails

Halfway between Columbus and Athens is Rockbridge, an outdoor enthusiast's paradise surrounded by state parks and nature preserves.

Besides this rock bridge, the town is also a gateway to places like the Rhododendron Cove State Nature Preserve, Clear Creek Metro Park, and Hocking Hills State Park, all within a 20-minute drive.

Possible Piketon data center emissions worry residents, city

ATHENS, Ohio — The scope of the data center project in Piketon has some residents concerned about potential downwind emissions affecting Athens County. Councilmember Beth Clodfelter (At-Large) read an email from Aaron Leatherwood, outlining his concerns about pollution from the PORTS-Pike Technology Campus . This project will transform the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant into the largest data center in the world according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Power for the facility will be provided by a 9.2 gigawatt natural gas-fired power plant. “The developer is attempting to rush the project and is hoping to go from application to power production in under two years,” Leatherwood wrote. “The project is not receiving the scrutiny that it needs to receive, particularly in regards to downwind health.” Of particular concern to Leatherwood is the decision by the developers to utilize conventional gas-turbines rather than the cleaner and more efficient combined-cycle gas turbines. “Their efforts to mitigate the scale of this project are limited and constrained by the technologies they are choosing, and it will be far harder to change once this plant is built,” Leatherwood continued. While Clodfelter did not read the rest of Leatherwood’s email out loud, Leatherwood made “a
