    I don't know anything at all about Jainism. I am the wrong person to ask. I do know that it is a…read morevery old religion that dates back to millions of years ago. Okay. The marker here is in front of the First Jain Temple in Ohio. On the front, it reads, "The Jain Center of Cincinnati and Dayton was established on April 22, 1979 as a non-profit tax-exempt organization under the laws of the United States and the State of Ohio. The foundation stone of the Jain temple, the first of its kind in Ohio, was laid down on August 21-22, 1994. The temple was dedicated on September 2-4, 1995 when more than one thousand people from all over Ohio and many other states participated in holy rituals to install three idols of Jinas (Gods). The Jain Center is a place for the teaching of non-violence, reverence for life, and compassion for all beings. The center was the home of the twelfth biennial convention for the Federation of Jain Associations in North America, which was held on July 3-6, 2003." On the reverse, "History of Jainism in Ohio. Shri Virchand Raghavji Gandhi, a disciple of Acharya Vijayanandsuriji (Atmaramji) Maharaj, introduced the Jain religion to North America during the Parliament of the World's Religions, which was held in Chicago on September 11-27, 1893. A year later, on September 18, 1894, he introduced Jainism to Ohio during a visit to Cleveland. The Jain religion and its teachings of universal love are eternal and the faith recognizes twenty-four Tirthankaras (prophets) during the present era. The twenty-fourth and the last Tirthankara was Lord Mahavira (599-527 BCE). Lord Mahavira once said, "In happiness and suffering, in joy and grief, we should regard all creatures as we regard our own." Ahimsa (non-violence), Satya (truthfulness), Asteya (non-stealing), Brahmacharya (chastity), and Aparigraha (non-materialism) are the basic principles of Jainism. Its motto is "live and let live and help others to live."" Sounds like a great bunch of folks. I concur. The signs are on the east side of the temple in the parking lot. There is only one entrance from Cincinnati-Dayton Road. [Review 18008 overall - 158 in Ohio - 1529 of 2022.]

    This marker is in excellent condition and is definitely historical. It is in a bank parking lot…read more It reads, "The first overland route between Dayton and Cincinnati was cut by Daniel Cooper in 1795 to provide access to the new town of Dayton, located at the mouth of the Mad River in the Symmes Purchase. The survey, entered into the record by Cooper and Jr. John Hole, extended Harmer's Trace north from near Cunningham's Station on the Mill Creek to the mouth of the Mad River, establishing the earliest road between Cincinnati and Dayton. This five-mile segment between David Road and State Route 725 is the last remaining traceable potion retaining this name. Cooper, a miller, was instrumental in the early settlement of Dayton, and Dr. Hole, the first physician in Montgomery County, established his cabin in 1796 on this par of Mad River Road." On the opposite side of the marker, "Road from Cunningham's to Mad River. Be it remembered that pursuant to an order of Court to Daniel Cooper, Daniel Griffing and John Hole on a petition of more than twelve citizens of the County aforesaid, the following survey of a road int he said County was made and reported, to wit, Beginning at Cunningham's Station, thence along the old road for four miles and a half, thence North eleven miles, thence North twenty five degrees East thirteen miles; (etc.) the whole distance being thirty eight miles and three fourths of a mile (1797 Survey for part of Mad River Road recorded in the Hamilton County Road Book B-1).
