Matted and framed with decorative plaque to an overall size of 24.75" x 25".Between 1798 and 1821, Congress authorized the sale of any remaining public lands in Ohio to private owners in an effort to populate the area.

As one of the first settled territories in the Midwest, Ohio functioned as an important political and economic asset to the rapidly growing United States.
