SUMMARY:Commodore Whipple Barn Mural Dedication Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:The Ohio History Connection is sponsoring a mural of Commodore 
 Abraham Whipple who took a leading active role in the American Revolution 
 by challenging the naval supremacy of Britain’s Royal Navy.  After the 
 war\, Whipple became one of the founders of Marietta where he built ocean-
 going sailing ships.  He is buried in the city’s Mound Cemetery along w
 ith other Revolutionary War veterans.\n\nThe mural was painted by Scott Ha
 gan who rendered the Ohio Bicentennial logo on barns in every Ohio county.
   The design—prepared by graphic artist David Browning—shows Whipple 
 as he appeared in a portrait by artist Edward Savage.   The mural also sh
 ows the USS Columbus\, a ship of the Continental Navy which Whipple comman
 ded.  The ship is shown flying the Grand Union Flag\, America’s first n
 ational flag.  Whipple’s monument in Mound Cemetery is also displayed.\
 n\nThe mural has been paid for by private donated funds.\n\nThe mural feat
 uring Commodore Whipple joins a collection of Ohio History Barns around th

 nty)\, Shawnee Chief Tecumseh (Greene County)\, the Packard Automobile (Tr
 umbull County) and the first Medal of Honor recipient Jacob Parrott (Hardi
 n County).\n\nSoon the Ohio History Connection will sponsor Ohio History B
 arns honoring President Ulysses S. Grant and General Charles Young.  Betw
 een now and the 250th anniversary of American Independence the Ohio Histor
 y Connection plans additional Ohio History Barns across the state presenti
