The Outstanding Ohioians show, Episode 6-The General and The Senator

In episode 6, the show took a different approach, in that we interviewed an expert about a historical figure in Ohio history. I interviewed Laura Bullock, Volunteer Director at the Sherman House and Museum in Lancaster, Ohio. The Sherman House and Museum is part of the Fairfield County Heritage Society. This historical house was home for the prestigious Sherman family.

Of the 11 children who lived in this house, General William Tecumseh Sherman and Senator John Sherman were the two most well-known historical figures.

Some of the most well-known events in their lives:

• Sherman's March to the Sea
• Sherman Antitrust Act
