'Oh, that's no reason not to go to school. Come on now and get ready.'
'Give me two reasons why I should go to school.'

“Quality Time” School Days

For a “review” of my initial post:: Walkabout The Adena Estate of Thomas Worthington
The building on the left.. “summer kitchen” OR is it the “Smoke House?” For it’s time The house was considered very modern in that it had a kitchen inside the house as well.
The building on the right::
The same year Worthington made his trip to the frontier, he and Eleanor Swearingen were married in Shepherdstown, Virginia, in December of 1796. The couple disapproved of slavery and wanted to free their inherited slaves and relocate them to the Northwest Territory which forbade slavery. Thomas and his brother-in-law Edward Tiffin made a second visit to the territory to prepare houses and cabins for the move. In the spring of 1798, a large group composed of Worthington, Swearingen, and Tiffin family members, freed slaves, and skilled workers made their way to the settlement of Chillicothe. READ MORE

“In colonial times the Conestoga wagon was popular for migration southward through the Great Appalachian Valley along the Great Wagon Road. After the American Revolution it was used to open up commerce to Pittsburgh and Ohio. In 1820 rates charged were roughly one dollar per 100 pounds per 100 miles, with speeds about 15 mi (24 km) per day. The Conestoga, often in long wagon trains, was the primary overland cargo vehicle over the Appalachian Mountains until the development of the railroad. The wagon was pulled by a team of up to eight horses or up to a dozen oxen. For this purpose, the Conestoga horse, a special breed of medium to heavy draft horses, was developed.” READ MORE

“Worthington made his fortune investing in land in Ohio, alongside such other real estate moguls as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Duncan McArthur (another Ohio kingpin who later became governor). Adena was the seat of a vast empire of tenant farmers along the Paint River near Chillicothe.” READ MORE
“Almost six feet in height, well built, and robust, this young pioneer
might have been considered handsome. His complexion was ruddy, his hair sandy. A long, moderately aquiline nose and dark-blue, piercing,
heavy-browed eyes relieved his otherwise rather impassive English countenance. His disposition was on the sober side; he smiled when other men laughed, and chuckled when they guffawed.” READ MORE
