Yesterday, the Bill to designate the Adena Effigy Pipe as Ohio’s State Artifact was unanimously passed by the Senate State Govenment Oversight and Reform Committee. Several young women from the Columbus School for Girls were there to testify on behalf of the bill. In their testimony, they gave their reasons for why this particular pipe should be our State Artifact:
“Because we care about our history, we want to honor our state and the Adena people who were the first Ohioans. It is very important to us to make the Adena Pipe the Ohio State Artifact. Please vote yes on Senate Bill 33.” Next the bill goes before the full Senate. Let your senators and representatives know you support designating the Adena Pipe as our State Artifact!
