Howard Chandler Christy, born in a log cabin in Morgan County in the late 1800s, became an internationally known artist who, to this day, has paintings hanging in museums around the world -- and the U.S. Capitol.
Now, a building Christy used as a studio near the village of Blue Rock (and not too far from this farm), is being added to the National Register of Historic Places.
An annual art show, named for him, is held each summer in the county seat of McConnelsville. The man was a household name in the U.S. in the early 1900s. Both historians as well as art lovers are well versed in the Christy works, which spanned three distinect phases of his life.
