Adena was the 2,000-acre estate of Thomas Worthington (17731827), sixth governor of Ohio and one of the state's first United States Senators. The mansion house, completed in 18061807, has been restored to look much as it did when the Worthington family lived there, including many original Worthington family furnishings. The house is one of only three houses designed by Benjamin Henry Latrobe still standing in the U.S. Latrobe is considered the first professional American architect and served as architect of the US capitol under President Thomas Jefferson. A new Museum and Education Center features interactive exhibits that use the stories of people connected to Adena to give visitors a picture of life in Ohio in the early 1800s.
The Friends of Adena website, complimentary to the Ohio Historical Society's website, may be found here.
The mansion offers exhibits, tours, and educational programs.
The Federalist is a complex political work comprised of arguments about war, economics, national unity, and liberty (among other things) based on appeals to human nature, history, reason, and prudence. In this course participants will examine and discuss the Federalist as fully and as deeply as possible, aiming to understand how (or whether) its parts fit together in a coherent whole and its enduring contribution to U.S. understanding of politics.
This course is an intensive study of the Constitutional Convention, the struggle over ratification of the Constitution, and the creation of the Bill of Rights. It will include a close examination of the Federalist Papers and the Antifederalist papers.
