Ohio Channel Highlights Ashland County Courthouse in New Documentary Series

COLUMBUS, OH – The Ohio Channel, a service of Ohio’s public broadcasting stations, has released a new installment in its documentary series Ohio Courthouses: Seats of Justice, focusing on the historic Ashland County Common Pleas Court.

 

This latest feature provides viewers with an in-depth look at the courthouse’s architecture, history, and vital role in the local community. Part of the Ohio Channel’s mission to offer comprehensive public affairs programming, the series highlights the importance of courthouses as central pillars of justice in American society.

 

Ohio is home to 88 county courthouses, many of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These buildings vary in design—from modern structures to those that have remained virtually unchanged since their construction. Each courthouse reflects the unique needs and heritage of its county while serving as a symbol of the state’s commitment to justice.

 

“Courthouses are more than just buildings—they’re places where life-changing decisions are made,” said an Ohio Channel spokesperson. “Through this series, we aim to showcase the rich history and enduring significance of these important institutions.”

 

The Ohio Channel’s programming combines live Statehouse coverage with content from local PBS stations, providing viewers statewide with insight into issues affecting all Ohioans.

 

The Ohio Courthouses: Seats of Justice series, including the feature on Ashland County, is available for viewing on the Ohio Channel’s website and affiliated PBS stations.
