On the cover: The Perry County Courthouse in New Lexington, Ohio was designed by Ohio architect, Joseph Warren Yost. The cornerstone was laid on May 18, 1887 and was dedicated on December 20, 1888. The Courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981 and has been an integral part of Perry County history for over 100 years. It was the site of the landmark case DeRolph v. State of Ohio regarding public school funding in 1991. The county courts have operated out of the courthouse since it’s construction. Perry County continues to invest in the preservation of the Courthouse, founding the Perry County Preservation Committee in 2016.
