Ohio County History

Established in 1844 by the Indiana Legislature, Ohio County is the state's smallest county. It also has the oldest continuously operating court house in Indiana.

Rising Sun, Indiana

Platted in 1814, Rising Sun is one of the state's oldest town. Rising Sun was an important river port during the era when the Ohio River served as the region's most important shipping medium.

Author

Paul R. Wonning

Publisher of history, gardening, travel and fiction books. Gardening, history and travel seem an odd soup in which to stew one's life, but Paul has done just that. A gardener since 1975, he has spent his spare time reading history and traveling with his wife. He gardens, plans his travels and writes his books out in the sticks near a small town in southeast Indiana. He enjoys sharing the things he has learned about gardening, history and travel with his readers. The many books Paul has written reflect that joy of sharing. He also writes fiction in his spare time. Read and enjoy his books, if you will. Or dare.
