A Great Inland Waterway
History abounds along these Great banks of the Ohio River. Industries were born here, flourished and died here, from Iron works to Glass works and Potteries, almost any industry that used water for manufacturing at the turn of the century could be found perched upon its banks. A great untold number of our fore fathers even used it as their pathway in the never ending migration Westward. Come with us on our journey upon The great Ohio River.
It is with great pleasure that 20/20 Vision Factory has undertaken the task of creating a non conforming yet comprehensive site for the Greater Ohio River Region, and in the coming months with your interest and assistance we hope to have one of largest and most unique site available for the area, with many link tie-in's on recreation, history and the arts to be forth coming.
Have fun and thanks for stopping by!
