JOURNALING: Statue located on the grounds of the Ohio Statehouse.   “The spirit of discovery has the power to change the course of human history as demonstrated by the voyages of Christopher Columbus whose imagination shattered the boundaries of the western world. Modern history has been shaped by one man’s courage to pursue a dream.”


“Westward into Ohio came the successors to the spirt of Columbus naming the capital city of the new state after the man who symbolized the spirit of the frontier.”


“Frontiers explored by later generations of Ohioans extend beyond land and water to a new world whose potential remains to be unlocked by the spirit of discovery.”
