Description

Photograph of a busy town square somewhere in Ohio. The location is possibly Wellington, in Lorain County, Ohio, because of the "American House" sign that can be seen on the right of the picture. The American House Hotel was known as the site of the Oberlin-Wellington Rescue in 1858, and was later torn down and replaced by the Herrick Memorial Library. A crowd of people are seen standing in the road, as well as multiple horses and carriages
