A picturesque overcast day in Jackson County. You see many farms like this in Southern Ohio. The tradition of the family farm is strong here and many farms have been passed down for generations. Some generations were farmers during their entire lifetimes.

Jackson County is the location of the Leo Petroglyph, a sandstone petroglyph containing 37 images of humans and other animals as well as footprints of each. The petroglyph is located near the small village of Leo, Ohio in Jackson County and is thought to have been created by the Fort Ancient peoples (possibly AD 1000–1650). The area in which the sandstone petroglyph was found is on the edge of an unglaciated Mississippian sandstone cliff 20–65 feet high. A 20 by 16 feet slab containing the 37 carvings is protected by a wooden shelter, a Works Progress Administration project. The meanings of the drawings are unknown. On November 10, 1970, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
