This is a very nice video summarizing the settlement and history of Morrow. However, whenever I hear its name I recall the folks song "To Morrow" recorded by the Kingston Trio over sixty years ago. Here is a link to the version on RU-vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zdEkm__55ik.html

I love the use of the photo of the Masonic Lodge and the Library on Miranda Street.

The Bridge adjacent to rt 123 is an auto bridge over the Todds fork branch of the rr to Clarksville and beyond. Look in the valley below the bridge. Unused bridge still maintained The structure is considered historic and is the only one of its kind in Ohio: By Ed Richter Staff Writer, Pulse Journal Lebanon, Ohio SALEM TWP., Warren County .:. Tim Drake said he's been driving on Ohio 123 between Morrow and Blanchester for 20 years and wondered why a state road crew is working on a bridge that hasn't been used in three decades. "Why would someone want to do that? I would have tore it down," Drake said. According to Sharon Smigielski, spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Transportation’s District 8 office in Turtlecreek Twp., a 1976 agreement requires the state to work on the abandoned bridge. ' The agreement between ODOT and the Ohio Historic Preservation Office was made so the realignment of Ohio 123,could proceed. At the time, the state historical preservation office said the bridge had a historic significance arid was eligible for inclusion into the National Register of Historic Places. That eligibility means it cannot be demolished. "The bridge has historic significance and we have an agreement to maintain it," Smigielski said. "There's also something to be said about maintaining history. The $149,840 bridge project, which began Tuesday, June 15, includes painting and replacing a wood railing. Funding for the project expected to be completed by Aug. 8 -- comes from the state's Transportation Enhancement Fund and does not include and federal stimulus dollars, Smigielski said. Drake, who lives outside of Blanchester, said ”he was in shock" when he learned' how much was being spent on this project In a 1977 letter to ODOT, Thomas H. Smith; then the state historic preservation officer, said the combination truss bridge was patented in 1870 by C.N. Kellogg of New York who built bridges on the northern Pennsylvania rail system. The bridge off Ohio 123 near Blackhawk Road is the only Kellogg bridge left in the state. It was built in 1880 by the Kellogg and Maurice Bridge Works of Athens, Pa., according to the state historic preservation office in Columbus. Throughout the years, the one-lane. bridge carried traffic over a segment of Penn Central rail track between Morrow and Clarksville that eventually was abandoned and was not included in the transfer of track to the Con-rail System, according to an assessment ODOT sent to the Federal Highway Administration. Kim Schuette, spokeswoman for the Ohio Historical Society, said the bridge does have national and international significance. "However, Schuette. said the bridge, while still eligible for inclusion, has not been placed into the National Register of Historic Places.
