  • Untitled, Undated Fragment of Newspaper Article Describes the Cellars One Hundred Years Later
    This page intentionally left blank PREFACE This report was commissioned by the Taft Museum of Art and Reed Hilderbrand Associates, Inc, Landscape Architecture, as part of the museum's expansion and renovation program. In early 2001, as it became clear that the Taft gardens would be thoroughly renovated and rebuilt, the need emerged for a documentary history that captured the design intentions, construction and evolution of several generations of landscape development. The following narrative records that history and anticipates a new chapter in the Taft's relationship to its site. The author gratefully acknowledges the invaluable assistance of Phillip Long, David Johnson, Lea Emery, Susan Hudson and Mark Allen of the Taft Museum of Art; the staff of the Cincinnati Historical Society, in particular Linda Bailey; the staff of the Cincinnati Public Library and that of the Lloyd Horticultural Library; Beth Sullebarger of the Cincinnati Preservation Society, and Nicholas Longworth's two great-great-great granddaughters, Mary Mitchell Cushing and Rosalie Mitchell Robertson. TAFf MUSEUM OF ART 2 A LANDSCAPE HIsTORY INTRODUCTION The Taft Museum of Art houses one of America's notable private collections of art, one that distinctly reflects Anna and Charles Taft's desire to leave an outstanding and permanent contribution to cultural life in Cincinnati, Ohio. No less important is the extraordinary inheritance embodied in the site and the impressive structure in which the collection is displayed, a building considered among America's finest early nineteenth­ century homes. This study documents and interprets the valuable inheritance conveyed through the history of the Taft site and its associated designed landscape at a moment when the museum itself is undergoing significant changes to revive and extend its legacy-changes that will make its collection and its site more manageable and more accessible to a wider audience.

  • Ohio's First Ladies
    From Frontierswoman to Flapper: Ohio’s First Ladies It is remarkable that Ohio is the home of seven First Ladies who were born or lived in the state. Their lives spanned from the colonial days of the United States to ushering in the Jazz Age of the 20th Century. Anna Harrison was born in New Jersey before the American Revolution, but her family settled in the Northwest Territory that became the state of Ohio. Anna’s Ohio was a wilderness, and she belongs to a class of rugged American women; the frontierswoman. The last two First Ladies were Florence Harding and Helen Taft. They were born in Ohio in 1860 and 1861 respectively. Their generation of women ushered in the Jazz Age, Prohibition and the Roaring 20s – the “new breed” of flappers with new opportunities for women. These seven women were unique and lively individuals, and their husbands had the good fortune to meet and marry them in Ohio. Anna Symmes Harrison (1775 – 1864) Anna Symmes was born in New Jersey on July 25, 1775. She was the second daughter born to John Cleves and Anna Symmes. Her widowed father served as a Continental Army Colonel during the American Revolution. He took both of his daughters to live with their maternal grandparents on Long Island, New York. Due to her family’s wealth and prestige, Anna was given an excellent education - rare for a girl at the time. Her education would serve her well for the life she was to lead as a frontierswoman, military wife and mother. Anna moved with her family to the Northwest Territory in 1794.

  • Wigwam Hill & Mendon Town Forest
    Page 1 of 60 This history is dedicated to the memory of Shirley Smith whose drive and commitment to the project has made the Town Forest, as it is today, possible. Early Years-Mendon is Born The town was incorporated in 1667 (2 dates are shown on the seal). In September 1662, after the deed was signed with the Native American chief, "Great John"* the pioneers entered this part of what is now southern Worcester County. An earlier, unofficial, settlement occurred here in the 1640s, by pioneers from Roxbury. In 1662, Squinshepauke Plantation was started at the Netmocke Settlement and Plantation or Netmocke Plantation as shown on the town’s seal. It was incorporated as the town of Mendon in 1667. It was named after the town of Mendham, Suffolk, England and bore that name until changed, intentionally or accidentally, by the General Court at the time of the town’s incorporation. The settlers were ambitious and set about clearing the roads that would mark settlement patterns throughout the town’s history. *Mendon still possesses this deed which is kept in a safe at the town hall. Page 2 of 60 The Mendon Town Forest Story A Google earth satellite map of the Town Forest shows the bulk of the heavily forested area and adjacent properties. It is located off Millville Road in the south-western corner of Mendon near the Millville & Uxbridge town lines. A neighboring property and popular tourist attraction is Southwick’s Zoo. The fire tower, indicated on the map, is the highest point on Wigwam Hill.

Taft’s student population has declined from 3,597 in 2004-05 to 2,593 in 2011-12.
