From panoramic photographs picturing hundreds of soldiers to casual snapshots taken with personal cameras, photographs show the different experiences of Ohio men and women in World War I. In military training camps, like Camp Sherman in Chillicothe, or in war torn Europe, photographs captured what every day Ohioans saw and did. After the war, photographs captured graves of the fallen, homecomings and the reconstruction of the American Indians mounds on the site of Camp Sherman.
