This is a really impressive monument that was completed in 1906. The names etched in the marble…read morewalls on the inside of the monument consequently end with the Spanish American War, but the wonderful staff set up rotating displays that acknowledge later individuals involved in later conflicts. There was a very interesting and moving display related to the Vietnam War at the time of our visit. The staff was incredibly friendly and informative, and we learned quite a bit. There are stunning stained glass windows, including tributes to the women who were involved in the conflicts, more displays upstairs, and a ghost story. Information about the large sculpture on the roof of Billy Yank is also provided and quite interesting (and wow, is that sculpture large and heavy!). This was free to enter and well worth the time. It has a nice location along the river and there is a historic cabin located outside next door, as the area had a lot to do with early fort and settlers.

So, I still love this library. My review pretty much still stands as it being fantastic. I can grab…read moremy books and run or wander. There are events. The people are fantastic. Super kind. It's beautiful. The organization of fiction is nuts. I will say that. But they got it together on large print and it's now not near the floor where the visually impaired probably couldn't see it very well. But now there are these stupid, hard chairs with tables next to the door instead of soft chairs. These are fine for rooms. Nooks. Other areas. Where you need quiet to do stuff. But when I'm by the door, I'm waiting on someone. I imagine parents and other people are, too. It stinks as these chairs hurt my back and hips. I can't imagine with the traffic flow they're great for studying, either. I hope they rethink this structure. It's not person friendly. And it's such a nice place.

I love this library! The Lane Public Library system itself is great but this location in Fairfield…read morehas some really cool features and is pretty large compared to its Hamilton location. So I know the library isn't responsible for these things BUT the odds are pretty high that you can exit out the back, books in hand and walk directly out onto the cute little park with water features, statues and bridges and happen upon a farmer's market or a band playing or something else going on. That's happened to me several times by accident and I sat down to read feeling like Belle in Beauty and the Beast or something (You can probably google what days things are happening at the park if you don't want to leave it up to chance). If you're there when nothing's going on fear not! Out the back door there are benches and tables with overhanging vines and classical music piped through outdoor speakers they've kindly set up. You may be thinking, What?! Have I been transported to some fancy European park?! Nope, you're in Fairfield, but pack a picnic or some coffee and you sure can pretend because I've never seen anything like that at another library and I think it's amazing. Anyways, ahem, about the library: The best part is that all their items are free and they have a good and ever expanding collection of the newest and greatest books. You can check out books, DVDs, magazines, CDs, electronic books, books on CD and probably stuff I'm not even aware of. If you need to use a computer they have a large selection too and that is off to the side so they aren't blocking the books or anything like at other libraries. The kid's section is nice and separated from the adult's collection in a different room. It's adorable, has a good selection of materials, some educational toys in the middle, a separate staff member, and some tables to do fun things like draw and read. If you can't make it inside, for whatever reason, you can order your books ahead of time, the library will notify you when they are ready for pick up, and you can either pick them up inside at the counter OR use their convenient drive-thru window. The drive-thru is perfect if you are sick, short on time, you have an addiction to books and can't trust yourself to not check out EVERY BOOK that looks amazing (there should be a bookaholics anonymous), you have wailing infants or you just really enjoy the novelty of a drive-thru window at a library. Also!!! They always have some fun and free events going on. Lots for kids and babies but also for adults too. I happened to stumble upon their Fall kid's day and they had games, a hay ride around the park, a band, apple cider and free mini pumpkins to decorate. It was so cute and all the little kids loved it. Check on the website for future events, save your cash, feel rooted in the community and enjoy the library!

It got even better as we began to turn and realized that the sculpture changed on the other side - a tiger. We'd love to actually stop next time and take a closer look at the other sides. It has a nice online supplement, through which we learned that this was located here because Harper lived here for years. This sculpture was designed by Micah Landers and features four of Harper's pieces.

The Blaw-Knox Antenna historical marker is located on the property of the WLW transmitter. There is…read moresome space for parking so that you can read the marker easily. Just look for the huge red and white radio tower! The marker is in good condition and reads, "In 1922, during the infancy of broadcast radio, the call letters WLW were assigned to the station begun by Cincinnatian Powell Crosley Jr. The station moved its transmitting operations to Mason in 1928, and by April 17, 1934, WLW had permission to operate experimentally at 500,000 watts. Becoming the first and only commercial radio station to broadcast at this "superpower," WLW was formally opened at 500,000 watts by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on May 2, 1934. Using its 831-foot Blaw-Knox antenna to broadcast at ten times the power of any station, it earned the title "The Nation's Station." Locals reported hearing broadcasts on barbed wire fences, milking machines, rainspouts, water faucets, and radiators. The custom built transmitter, a joint venture between RCA, GE, and Westinghouse, remained in operation until March 1, 1939 when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ordered the station to return to broadcasting at 50,000 watts." The marker goes on to mention that it was erected in 2002 by Ohio Bicentennial Commission, The Longaberger Company, Mason Historical Society, City of Mason, Warren County Board of Commissioners, and The Ohio Historical Society. It is marker number 5-83. [Review 18020 overall - 166 in Ohio - 1541 of 2022.]
