COVER INFORMATION Cover photo is an original print ‘Country Sunshine’ by artist John A. Ruthven.

John A. Ruthven, naturalist, author, lecturer, and internationally acknowledged master of wildlife art is often called the “20th Century Audubon.” Ruthven uses the same techniques as his famous predecessor. After studying and researching his subject thoroughly, he sketches to rigid specifications then renders the original painting with great detail. John remembers growing up in Walnut Hills and making his way to the banks of the Ohio River in Brown County, dreaming about the birds John J. Audubon painted more than a century before.

EMERGENCY SERVICES THE 911 SYSTEM Calls made to 911 go to the Brown County Communication Center at 755 Mt. Orab Pike in Georgetown. After the first ring a computer screen provides a 911 operator with the address of the phone and the name of the individual, business, or organization at that address. Appropriate fire, law enforcement, or life squad personnel are dispatched immediately. If the caller is unable to talk or hangs up after the first ring, emergency personnel will still respond to the call. In case of power failure, the Communications Center has its own generator system.

NOTE: The address and non-emergency phone number for local life squads, fire and police departments are listed in this directory under the heading Government – Brown County Villages.

Aberdeen In the spring of 1795, Captain Nathan Ellis and his five brothers, looking for homes in the Northwest Territory, landed their flatboat at a settlement known as Limestone (later Maysville, Ky.) on the south shore of the Ohio River.

The following year, Captain Ellis moved across the river where he built a home, a tavern, and a ferry service.

The settlement on the north shore was known as Ellis’ Landing until 1816 when it was surveyed and renamed Aberdeen.

Aberdeen’s Concert in the Park at Old Gretna Green commemorates Squires John Shelton and Massie Beasley who, like the magistrates of Gretna Green, Scotland, performed instant marriages without the formality of a license, and often without the consent of parents. The annual concert celebrates Ab-

The Aberdeen River Festival is a revival of “Court Days” when citizens from the surrounding area came together to attend court sessions held by judges riding the “circuit.”

Court days became important social events on the frontier, providing an opportunity to swap guns, knives, dogs, horses, local news, and tall tales. The River Festival continues the tradition in a familyfriendly atmosphere.

For information on these two events, see the listing of events under “Recreation.”

Decatur St. Clairsville, laid out in 1801 or 1802, was the first town in what was to become Brown County.

When it was discovered that there was another St.

Clairsville in Ohio, the name was changed to Hard Scrabble and finally to Decatur in honor of Stephen Decatur, a hero of the battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812.

Four lots had originally been set aside for construction of the Adams County courthouse, but were not needed after Brown County was formed from parts of Adams and Clermont counties. These lots, in the center of town, became the Decatur Park.

Fayetteville The first house in the Fayetteville area was built

by Erastus Atkins in 1811.

During the next few years, Atkins was joined by other settlers, and in 1818 Cornelius McGroarty, a native of Ireland, bought the area now occupied by the village and named it Fayetteville in honor of the French General Lafayette.

Early businesses included a saddle and harness

wilderness and in 1819 presented a plat of 22 lots and four streets, which he named Georgetown after his hometown in Kentucky. When Brown County was carved out of Clermont and Adams counties in 1817, the realignment stirred up several years of political bickering over location of the county seat. The issue was settled in 1821 when a commission appointed by the Ohio General Assembly unanimously recommended Georgetown as the seat of justice for the new county.

The Brown County Court House on 101 South Main St. in Georgetown was completed in 1851. The Greek Revival architecture design was created by Hubbard Baker. North and south wings were added in the early 1900s. It had to be completely renovated after a fire in the 1970s and

is now considered a public building.

Gist Settlements of Brown County In 1819, two large groups of freed slaves were brought to Brown County from Hanover, Amherst, and Goochland counties in Virginia. More than 300 were settled on 2,300 acres of land in Eagle, Scott, and Clark townships. The area in Eagle township was approximately 1,180 acres, and the area in Scott/Clark

was approximately 1,120 acres. In Eagle township a few descendants still live on the Settlement. No descendants remain in the Scott/Clark Settlement.

The slaves were manumitted by their owner, Samuel Gist, a wealthy planter with vast holdings in Virginia. His will contained provisions for his business associates to free all of his slaves. The state of Virginia decided that the slaves were to be taken to Ohio. Land was purchased for the relocation, and the Gist Settlements of Brown County were formed.

One other settlement still exists in Penn township in Highland County.

Brush Creek Baptist Church on TriCounty Highway was established by the freed slaves of the Gist Settlement. Two cemeteries, the Methodist (Five Points-Fincastle Road) and Baptist (across the street from Brush Creek Baptist Church) are the burial places of many residents that lived in the Gist Settlement in Eagle Township.

Hamersville In 1838, Nathaniel Moore and George Flick laid out a village they called Good Samaritan. The name didn’t stick, and Good Samaritan later was known as Moore’s Crossing. Finally, the town was renamed Hamersville in honor of Thomas L. Hamer, a member of Congress from the district who was instrumental in having a post office located here. (Hamer was also responsible for U.S. Grant’s appointment to West Point.)

In 1882 the narrow gauge Cincinnati, Georgetown & Portsmouth RailRoad

reached Hamersville.

While it required several days to make the trip to Cincinnati and back by wagon, it was now possible to make the same trip by train in a matter of hours.

Rail service expanded markets for farmers and made it possible for local businessmen to ship their products and receive supplies and inventory more quickly and economically.

The first volume of “Who’s Who in America” was published in 1900 by Albert Nelson Marquis who grew up in Hamersville. He lived with his grandparents who operated a general store, post office, and stage coach depot.

The building he lived in is at the corner of Main Street and North Avenue.

Higginsport Higginsport is one of the oldest villages in the county. It was originally laid out in 1804 by Col. Robert Higgins and was called White Haven.

When the settlement failed to grow, it was replatted and renamed Higginsport in 1816.

Over the years this new community became an active business center with two hotels, two taverns, two wineries, seven warehouses, flour mills, lumber companies, a tannery, a furniture factory, a boat yard, and an abundance of river traffic – including showboats.

The park in the center of town was donated by Col. Higgins for public use. Another park near town was developed by the State Highway Department. Several historic buildings in the village are still in use for business or as private residences.

Mt. Orab Daniel Keethler es-

tablished the village of Mt. Orab in 1850, laying out 19 lots on the east bank of Sterling Fork of White Oak Creek. While there’s no doubt that Keethler took the name of the new community from the Bible there’s still some controversy over whether it was intended to be Mt. Orab, Mt. Oreb, or Mt. Horeb.

Growth was slow until the Cincinnati & Eastern Railroad reached town on April 19, 1877. In that same year 31 lots were added, and by 1880 Mt. Orab had become an incorporated village. While the railroad brought a measure of prosperity to Mt. Orab and the surrounding area, the C&E itself was a financial basket case and was finally acquired by the Norfolk & Western (now Norfolk Southern) in 1901. The Mt. Orab depot, circa 1884, is the oldest building in town and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The depot is owned by the Mt. Orab Women’s Club and has been moved across the tracks where it is on display along with a vintage wood caboose.

In June 1929, Radio Station WHBD “went on the air” from the rear of Doc Moler’s Garage and General Store on East Main Street. At that time, Mt. Orab was the smallest town in the U.S. with a radio station. Sunday was the big day! People gathered from all over the area to hear and see the “live talent” on WHBD. One of the performers was Cowboy Copas, who later became a regular on the Grand Ole Opry.

Because of increasing operating expenses, the popular station was sold and moved to Portsmouth in 1934.

HISTORIC Ripley In 1812, Col. James Poage founded and incorporated a town on the north bank of the Ohio River, which he named Staunton after his home town in Virginia.. In 1816 the name of the village was changed to Ripley in honor of Brigadier General Eleazar Ripley, a veteran of the War of 1812.

Ripley soon earned a reputation as a major Ohio River port and in the early years was second only to Cincinnati in the pork packing business. For information on Ripley’s 55-acre historic district and the following historic sites, please call (937) 392-4188 or (937) 392-4660

A collection of Aunt Jemima souvenirs and advertising items is on display.

Sardinia Laid out in 1833, Sardinia was first called Lilly, the name of the postmaster.

The two oldest homes in the village sit across the street from one another on North Main Street; one home was started first, but the other one was finished first. A building used as an Underground Railroad Station remains in the middle of town. All three of these homes are currently occupied by residents.
