Reading the Rural Landscape

Join Steve Gordon for an exploration into Ohio’s rural landscape. People see rural landscapes every day, but don’t really “look” at them, because they don’t know what they’re looking at or don’t know how to look. We’ll cover the basics to introduce you to and give you a beginning understanding on structures and buildings common to our rural landscapes.
