In 1940, the Federal Writers Project produced a massive book detailing the scenic treasures and everyday life along Ohio’s roads - roads that went through the big cities as well as through farmland and tucked-away places.

Picking up where the Federal Writers Project left off, in 2012, the Ohio Humanities Council launched the
Road Trip! radio series and
The New Ohio Guide Audio Tours at
SeeOhioFirst.org. This new guide takes those older routes and gives them a 21st century twist, recreating them as free downloadable audio tours, and the
Road Trip! radio series.
